Reasons for material management
• The amount spent on materials is higher than other inputs
• Materials offer considerable scope for reducing cost and improving profit
• Improving return on investment depends on the effective utilisation of
materials.
• Materials add value to product
• Quality of end product depends on materials
• Need for preservation of scarce resources for posterity
• Increasing demand for ensuring environmental safety
The third group of three long loops (R7-9) refer to traditional waste
management activities, including recycling, different forms of energy
recovery and, more recently, re-mining.
