The diagram below shows the environmental issues that occur during the life cycle of a product step by step.
First, making a product starts with extracting natural materials from the earth. This uses too many resources and creates waste, which can hurt and harm nature. Then, the products are made in factories, which uses a lot of energy and causes pollution.
Next, the products are moved to other places. Transportation requires fuel, which increases air pollution. When people use the products, more problems can occur, such as using energy and creating waste.
Finally, the products are thrown away. If they are not recycled, they go to landfills, which can harm the soil and water.
In conclusion, every stage of a product’s life cycle has an impact on the environment. It is important to recycle and use products in better ways to reduce harm.
