Which term describes products, services or processes that reduce waste and require the minimum amount of non-renewable resources?

• A. Circular economy
• B. Clean technology
• C. Management
• D. Physical environment

Answer: (B)

Clean technology describes products, services or processes that reduce waste and minimize the use of non-renewable resources. It focuses on designing and operating systems with lower resource intensity and waste generation, using more efficient methods, cleaner production, and innovations that enable recycling or reuse. The circular economy aims to keep materials in use within a system-wide approach, which is broader than the specific technology-focused idea described here. Management is just the act of organizing activities, not the environmental efficiency aspect, and the physical environment refers to surroundings rather than the design goal of reducing resource use.
