Process of production Resources Company Products Wastes
The different materials = resources • SILK • caterpillars make fibres • make yarns • yarns are woven
LYCRA • synthetic fibres • always combined with other materials • SUGAR • come from cane or beet • a sweetener to products • as by-products
PINE • natural wool • ex : tables, chair, children’s toys … • MDF • = Medium Density Fireboard • produced by waste of wood • mixed with water, wax and resin

WASTES = which is no longer useful 1996 : Special Waste Regulations classifies differents types of waste
Inert= materials which won’t cause environmental pollution • Biodegradable • = materials which rot away by the action of • living micro-organism • Hazardous • = materials which can damage health
METHODS of dealing with waste WASTE MINIMISATION= avoid producing waste • RE-USE= re-use materials which would otherwise disposed of • RECYCLING = collect waste materials to produce a new raw material bring system / collect system / central processing
LANDFILL= burying waste in the ground • COMPOSTING= collecting organic waste and allowing it to decompose natural fertiliser
DESIGN • Some methods : • JIT and kaisen • less packaging • development of concentrated product • - reducing product
BENEFITS of waste management • reduce costs • lower prices to consumers • reduce tax • use waste to make products, which will be sold • improvment of the company’s image • avoid breaking the law and paying fines
DISADVANTAGES of waste management • some aspects are expensive • higher prices to consumers • small business are disadvantaged
