Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

What is the difference between Recyclable and Biodegradable?

  • Answer: Recyclable materials (like aluminum) can be processed and turned into new products. Biodegradable materials (like paper) can be broken down naturally by microorganisms into organic matter.
  • Hint: One stays in a human-made loop; the other returns to the earth.

💡 Hint: One stays in a human-made loop; the other returns to the earth.

Question 2 Easy

Name a common product that usually features "Bad" packaging (multi-layered/non-recyclable) and suggest a "Good" alternative.

  • Answer: Example: A plastic snack pouch (non-recyclable foil) could be replaced with a compostable cellulose film or a recyclable paper-based pouch.
  • Hint: Think about the chip bags mentioned in the "Examples" section.

Challenge 1 Hard

The Justification Pitch: You are a designer for a company that sells organic tea in plastic boxes.

  • Task: Write a 3-sentence justification to the CEO for switching to recycled cardboard boxes with soy-based ink.
  • Solution: "Switching to recycled cardboard reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and ensures our packaging is fully compostable, directly solving the issue of plastic waste. Using soy-based ink ensures that no toxic chemicals are released during the breakdown process, protecting the environment. This move aligns our packaging with our 'organic' brand values, meeting the growing demand from our eco-conscious customers."
  • Hint: Use the "Detailed Summary" points to build your argument.

💡 Hint: Use the "Detailed Summary" points to build your argument.

Challenge 2 Hard

The Lifecycle Audit: Look at a standard juice box (tetra-pak).

  • Task: Identify one "Bad" part of its lifecycle and propose a "Sustainable" fix.
  • Solution: Bad Part: It is made of layers of paper, plastic, and aluminum, making it very hard to recycle in many cities. Sustainable Fix: Switch to a glass bottle (reusable) or a mono-material recyclable plastic bottle that is easier for local facilities to process.
  • Hint: Think about the "Recyclable" vs. "Multi-layered" problem.

💡 Hint: Think about the "Recyclable" vs. "Multi-layered" problem.
