Material efficiency

Material efficiency refers to how effectively a product or process uses raw materials to achieve its desired outcome. It aims to minimize waste and maximize the value derived from the materials involved. For example, designing a product that uses less material without compromising strength or quality improves material efficiency. This approach not only reduces costs and environmental impact but also promotes sustainable resource use. In essence, higher material efficiency means getting more useful results from less material, leading to more sustainable and cost-effective production and consumption.
