Sustainability
Non-Renewable resources
Designers and manufacturers have to use a range of materials from non-renewable resources. This means that the raw materials, such as oil, ores and minerials, are taken from sources that will eventually run out. They are natural resources that have been producted over thousands of years.
Renewable resources
If we are to make our natural resources last longer, we must aim to use a greater quantity of renewable resources in our products. This will both help to protect our environment and will also help to safeguard the supply of products and services. For example many timber products now carry FSC (forest stewardship council) Logo, which reassures the customer that the timber supply is from renewable,managed forest. Using such logos allows the consumer to make informed choices.
