Question

Selecting EPEAT-compliant technology with a high rating over traditional, less energy efficient technology is an example of focusing on what sustainability effect?

Answer 1

The correct answer is the creation, use and disposal of a product.

EPEAT stands for Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool. It is an independent ranking system that helps purchasers evaluate, compare and select computers and monitors based on their environmental attributes. By selecting products with good ratings, the purchaser is focusing on the creating, use and disposal of a product, which in this case is a computer product.
