A life cycle analysis is - considering the whole life of the product from sourcing of materials, through processing, manufacture, transportation use and disposal, Sustainable design is - the aim to develop products in a way that reduced their impact on the environment, Renewable resources are - are resources that are not consumed a the point of use or are quickly replaced eg solar or wind power, Non-renewables  are - Are consumed as they are used and they have a finite supply eg fossil fuels, metal ores and minerals, Resources depletion is - Using up resources faster than they can be replaced, eg coal, crude oil and natural gas, Eco-materials are - Are biodegradable materials which minimise the amount of waste that goes to landfill, Bio plastics are - Are plastics made from plants such as corn or potatoes that decompose over time, Recycled materials are - Many materials can be recycled such as some metals, plastics, glass, textiles and papers, Recycling Metals are - More cost and energy efficient than processing raw materials and does less damage to the environment , Recycle means - taking a waste material and processing it to make it useable again, Reuse means - Using a part or object multiple times rather than using something a single time, Repair means - Designing products with the intention of being able to maintain it and keep it working , Refuse means - Not using materials that damage the planet as they cannot be recycled or are unsustainable , Reduce means - Using less, energy, materials and fewer parts and processes, Rethink means - thinking about how products are made to make the design simpler , Upcycling means - Finding a creative use for products at the end of their life rather than disposing of them, New and emerging technologies are - advances in technology, science and manufacturing processes which result in mew materials with different properties that enhance performance of productd, Modern materials are - Materials that have been developed for specific purposes which are then transferred into products used by many , Smart materials are - Materials that react and respond to their environment, Composite materials are - Materials made from a number of materials put together to improve the working characteristics , Titanium is an example of a - Modern material , Graphene is an example of a - Modern material, Nanomaterials are - Modern materials that are small particles that have anti bacterial properties to medical productd, Shape memory alloys (SMAs) - Are smart materials that remember their original shape, Thermochromic materials are - smart materials that change colour in response to temperature , Photochromic materials are - Smart materials that change colour in response to light, Concrete is a - Composite material made from cement, sand and gravel , MDF is a - Composite material made from wood fibres and glue, Carbon fibre is a - Composite material used in F1 cars as it is very light weight, Environmental pressures are - the impact on the environment due to human activity,
