The reduction in use, reuse and recycling of materials by end users reduces the use of limited resources, use of energy sources, waste and environmental impacts. |
|

|
Metals, glass, building materials, clay ceramics and most plastics are produced from limited raw materials. |
|
Where are the raw materials found to produce products such as ceramics, metals and plastics? |
|
|
|
Much of the energy for the processes comes from limited resources. |
|
Describe how the majority of energy is generated in order to process raw materials such as clay ceramics and metal ores? |
|
|
|
Obtaining raw materials from the Earth by quarrying and mining causes environmental impacts. |
|
Evaluate the environmental impacts of quarrying in order to obtain natural resources Extended writing: Describe the environmental impacts of obtaining raw materials from the Earth. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
Give an example of a product that can be reused and a product that can be recycled. |
|
|
|
Metals can be recycled by melting and recasting or reforming into different products. |
|
How can metals be recycled? |
|
|
|
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. |
|
What does the amount of separation for a product rely on? Give an example. |
|
|
|
Students should be able to evaluate ways of reducing the use of limited resources, given appropriate information. |
|
What ways can reducing the use of limited resources be achieved? Design an informative poster aimed at future generations to encourage them to recycle, reuse, reduce. |
