Key Questions:

1. What are the reasons behind the incentive Reduce, Reuse, Recycle?
   • Reduce, Reuse and Recycle is targeted to end users to reduce the use of limited resources, use of Energy sources, waste and environmental impacts.
2. Where are the raw materials found to produce products such as ceramics, metals and plastics?
   • The raw materials we use to make ceramics, metals and plastics are found within the earths crust.
3. Describe how the majority of energy is generated in order to process raw materials such as clay ceramics and metal ores?
   • Most Energy used to process natural resources is generated from finite resources, such as fossil fuels.
4. Evaluate the environmental impacts of quarrying in order to obtain natural resources
   • The Environmental impacts of quarrying can be: Once usage is complete, often old quarries can become u - Destruction of natural habitats - Pollutants released from use of chemicals and burning fossil fuels in operation of quarry - Permanently disfigure the local environment and are often visible from long distances
5. Give an example of a product that can be reused and a product that can be recycled.
   • Some products, such as glass bottles, can be reused. Glass bottles can be crushed and melted to make different glass products. Other products cannot be reused and so are recycled for a different use such as plastics and metals.
6. How can metals be recycled?
   • Metals can be recycled by melting and recasting or reforming into different products.
7. What does the amount of separation for a product rely on? Give an example.
   • The amount of separation required for recycling depends on the material and the properties required of the final product. For example, some scrap steel can be added to iron from a blast furnace to reduce the amount of iron that needs to be extracted from iron ore.
8. What ways can reducing the use of limited resources be achieved?
   • Reducing the use of limited resources be achieved by producing less waste, reusing certain products, recycling certain products.
