Question 1 Assignment purpose: Apply Cradle to Cradle Principles Objective: The objective of this assignment is to apply the principles of Cradle to Cradle (C2C) design to a real-world scenario and propose sustainable solutions. Instructions: 1. Research: Conduct thorough research on the Cradle-to-Cradle design principles and understand its core concepts, including the importance of materials optimization, renewable energy, water management, and social responsibility. 2. Real-world Scenario: Select a specific industry or sector of your choice where the application of Cradle-to-Cradle principles can make a significant positive impact on the environment. 3. Analysis: Analyse the current practices, processes, and materials used in the selected industry or sector. Identify the environmental challenges and issues associated with the current approach. (20) 4. Proposal: Develop a proposal that applies the Cradle-to-Cradle principles to address the identified challenges and issues. Your proposal should include the following elements: a. Materials Optimization: Suggest strategies to optimize the use of materials, considering their lifecycle impact. How can the industry shift towards using materials that are safe, non-toxic, and recyclable/reusable? (10) b. Renewable Energy: Propose ways to incorporate renewable energy sources into the industry's operations. How can the industry reduce its dependence on non-renewable energy sources and promote the use of clean energy? (10) c. Water Management: Outline strategies for efficient water management within the industry. How can the industry minimize water consumption? (10) 5. IEEE referencing (10) 6.
