Environmental Efficiency Quiz

Win-win scenario = Achieving greater resource productivity with environmental and economic benefits Waste minimization = Using fewer resource inputs and generating less waste for a given level of production or service Energy efficiency = Important element in any greenhouse gas reduction strategy Reduction of waste at source = Systematic prevention of waste during the production process

Production process = Transforming raw materials or assembling components into products Activity process = Delivering a service such as transportation or storage and packaging of goods Transportation process = Moving people or goods from one place to another Storage and packaging process = Storing and packaging goods

Optimizing useful outputs = Maximizing desirable results and minimizing unwanted outputs Minimize unwanted outputs = Reducing the production of undesirable results Systematic reduction of waste at source = Methodical approach to preventing waste during the production process Less resource input required = Result of optimizing useful outputs and minimizing unwanted outputs

<p>Avoidance of leaks of methane and refrigerants = Important element in any greenhouse gas reduction strategy Reduction of waste at source = Requires the prevention of waste during the production process Process efficiency = Incorporates waste minimization, energy efficiency, and material productivity Resource productivity = Aims to achieve greater resource productivity from organizational or business activities</p> Signup and view all the answers
