Category - Materials

The life cycle in the selection of sustainable materials considers all of the following environmental impacts except:
  1. Transportation
  2. Manufacturing
  3. Recycling
  4. Extraction
Explanation
Answer - C - Recycling is not one of the considerations taken for assessing the life-cycle of a material. Life-cycle considers all the environmental impacts associated with the material from the beginning of extraction through its processing and use in manufacturing, its transportation, and its end use of eventual disposal. Recycling is often referred to as the “cradle-to-grave” approach for assessing materials.
