3. Environmental issues A product may be made with a high proportion of materials that cannot be replaced, or use chemicals that pollute the atmosphere. This can be harmful to wildlife and cause changes to the weather patterns and the land. Some production processes use high levels of non-renewable energy. Paper and wood are made from trees. In many parts of the world forests are being destroyed. This is known as deforestation. This is why sustainability has become so important and needs to be considered when designing new products. Can you name the 3 Rs which are used to provide guidance on how to minimise the damage a product does to the environment?
