Material efficiency

[1] Making a usable item out of thinner stock than a prior version increases the material efficiency of the manufacturing process.

Recycling and reusing components allow for remanufacturing during the process improvement in creating the product, increasing the material's durability, technology development, and correct component/material purchasing.

[10] Some companies have applied the circular economy theory to design strategies and business models to close material loops.

[12] Significant materials, such as iron and steel, aluminum, cement, chemical products, and pulp and paper, impact the building process.

However, employing more efficient strategies to produce these materials will reduce energy and cost without ignoring the reduction of carbon emissions.

"[14] During the manufacturing process, each stage can increase material efficiency, from design and fabrication, through use, and finally to the end of life.

Impediments to material efficiency improvement include hesitation to invest, a lack of available and accessible information, and economic disincentives.

[20] These include regulation and guidelines; economic incentives; voluntary agreements and actions; information, education, and training; and funding for research, development, and demonstration.

It will be to study, develop, demonstrate, and trade with the primary goal of creating new alternatives to critical material, promoting efficient manufacturing and use.
