EMF, 2013 - The Limits of Linear Consumption
4 important questions on EMF, 2013 - The Limits of Linear Consumption
What happens to systems that are based on consumption, rather than restorative use of non-renewable resources?
What is reused in the circular economy, as opposed to the extraction of resources, the foundation of economic growth?
What has contributed to the current wasteful system of resource use?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What are the 4 unneccessary resource losses that the linear production model incurs?
- Waste in the production chain: materials lost in the chain between mining and final manufacturing, e.g. Food markets
- End-of-life waste: referring to recycling, reuse or composted and digested
- Energy use: reduced energy intensity in circular model results in reduction of threshold energy demand and further enables a shift to renewable energy
- Erosion of ecosystem services: the services being benefits derived from ecosystems that support and enahnce human well-being, e.g. Forests.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
