Explain the reasons why. 3. List 2 applications for each of the 4 R's. i.e. State how each one could be implemented in the home or industry. 4. Explain the stages of the Product Life Cycle. Use the diagram below and your text to help you.



5. State two ways of how minimising waste can benefit society & the environment during the life cycle of a product. 6. List two disadvantages of waste minimisation throughout the product life cycle. 7. Discuss how your group has tried to minimise waste during the manufacture of your travel game. 8.
