Which statement best defines biomimicry?
Designing based solely on the visual beauty of natural elements.
Developing sustainable solutions by imitating nature’s time-tested models and strategies.
Using natural materials directly in product design to reduce waste.
Observing living organisms only for artistic inspiration.
Which of the following best illustrates “mimicking processes” in biomimicry?
A lamp shaped like a flower.
A chair with curved legs resembling tree roots.
A fabric that repels water like lotus leaves.
A building façade mimicking coral reef patterns.
A designer studying how polar bears retain heat to design better insulation materials is at which stage of the biomimicry process?
Emulate nature’s lessons
Evaluate fit and function
Biologize the challenge
Discover biological strategies
Which of the following is a limitation of the Biology to Design approach?
It tends to focus on technological solutions with little emphasis on user behavior.
It overlooks aesthetic value.
It cannot be applied in product development contexts.
It always results in unsustainable outcomes.
Which option best captures the main idea of Cradle to Cradle design?
Creating cyclical systems where waste becomes food for new production.
Minimizing waste to slow environmental damage.
Recycling materials after products reach end of life.
Designing single-use products made from renewable sources.
Which statement distinguishes eco-effectiveness from eco-efficiency most accurately?
Eco-efficiency eliminates waste completely.
Eco-effectiveness focuses on getting more from less.
Eco-effectiveness aims to maintain material quality through continuous cycles.
Eco-efficiency is based on upcycling toxic materials.
Which of the following best represents a technical nutrient cycle in C2C?
A leased washing machine designed for disassembly and reuse
Compostable food packaging
A biodegradable spoon made from cornstarch
A garment that dissolves safely in water
Which of the following was identified as a limitation of the Cradle to Cradle approach?
It neglects the importance of toxic-free materials.
It ignores the environmental impact of the use phase, such as energy consumption.
It discourages innovation in production systems.
It promotes short product lifespans.
Which statement best defines the Circular Economy?
A system that aims to recycle all materials at the end of product life.
An economy where materials are continually kept in use and waste is eliminated through design.
A market-based model that increases product lifespan through efficiency.
A waste management strategy that replaces landfill disposal with recycling.
Which of the following correctly lists the three core principles of the Circular Economy?
Eliminate waste and pollution; Circulate products and materials; Regenerate nature
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Design for repair; Reduce consumption; Use renewable energy
Design for longevity; Promote sharing; Encourage consumer awareness
In the technical cycle of the circular economy, which strategy retains the product’s value most effectively?
Recycling materials
Composting organic waste
Sharing, maintaining, and reusing products through repair and refurbishment
Designing single-use packaging
The biological cycle in the circular economy focuses mainly on:
Extending electronic product lifespan
Maximizing raw material extraction
Returning biodegradable materials safely to nature to regenerate resources
Converting all waste into synthetic nutrients
