Question

Which of the following is true if environmentally sound products are made through efficient processes?

• A. It is unprofitable, as long as recyclable materials prices are soft.
• B. It is known as lean manufacturing
• C. It can still be profitable
• D. It is easier for repetitive processes than for product-focused processes.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. It can still be profitable

Environmentally sound products made through Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs) can still be profitable. These technologies use resources efficiently, recycle waste, and handle residual waste appropriately. ESTs result in lower operating costs, increased profits, and higher market value due to green products and services. This creates a new customer base and maintains old customers while creating new markets that are environment-responsible.
