Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transforming linear processes into circular ones, where waste is eliminated or reused, is the only sustainable approach to industrial processes. This would involve designing products with end-of-life scenarios in mind and implementing closed-loop systems that allow for materials to be recycled or repurposed. The other options either do not address the root issue of unsustainability or promote harmful practices.
