Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The analysis of the life cycle of a product starting with its raw materials and ending with the used item becoming the raw material for new products is called cradle-to-cradle. This means that the materials used in the product can be continuously reused, creating a closed-loop system. The advertisement's message aligns with the concept of cradle-to-cradle, urging consumers to recycle the can so that it can be made into a new product, in this case, a bike. The other answer choices, cradle-to-grave and cost-benefit analysis, do not specifically relate to the concept presented in the advertisement. Reusability is not broad enough to encompass the entire life cycle of a product.
