In order to have USE there is a long supply chain, and a long post use waste chain. Quality of Life and Standard of Living is a function of having the right amount of PRODUCT for use.
The damage to the environment depends on the characteristics of the PRODUCT ... its SUPPLY CHAIN and its POST USE WASTE CHAIN as well as its performance during USE | |||

The Plastic Disclosure Project
The Plastic Disclosure Project (PDP) is a project working to reduce the environmental impact of the world's rising use of plastics in products and packaging. Similar to the Carbon Disclosure Project, PDP encourages measurement, disclosure and management to improve corporate, community and individual accountability on plastic manufacture, use and disposal. http://plasticdisclosure.org/disclosers/who-is-disclosing.html | Open external LINK | |

Dr. David Suzuki (http://www.davidsuzuki.org/) recently wrote:
'Scientists have dubbed these times the 'Anthropocene,' because humans are now the dominant factor influencing Earth's natural systems, from climate to the carbon and hydrologic cycles. Now they're labelling our accumulated goods and technologies -- including houses, factories, cars, roads, smartphones, computers and landfills -- the 'technosphere' because it's as large and significant as the biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. Researchers estimate it represents 50 kilograms for every square metre of Earth's surface and is 100,000 times greater than the human biomass it supports. | Open 12424 | Open external LINK |

| Waste contributes nothing to quality of life, but has social, environmental and economic costs. Reducing waste and the idea of circularity in the economy is a win-win-win and has started to grow. Much work still to do. | |||||
