Name two things about our consumption patterns that aren't very sustainable

Consumption pattern

Consumption pattern = products and services purchased by individuals, this is often not sustainable:

• The transport of the parts and products
• The life span (levensduur) of the products

What does 'recycling' mean?

1. The burning of a product
2. The reuse of a product
3. To use a material more than once

Recycling

• To use a material more than once
• Processing an old product into a new one

Cradle-to-cradle

• ''Van wieg tot wieg''
• Products which can be recycled or re-used.
• All parts of a product can be used again for a new product

Explain the difference between recycling and cradle-to-cradle

Recycling: reusing materials, but during this process residual waste (restafval) is also created

Cradle-to-cradle: everything, every part (100%), is reused
