Question

what is the best description of sustainable manufacturing?
sustainable businesses avoid wasting or damaging natural resources.
companies are qualified for government loans.
companies produce only durable goods.
products are made using organic materials.

Explanation:

Sustainable manufacturing focuses on environmental - friendly practices. Avoiding waste and damage to natural resources is a core aspect. Government loans (not directly related to the essence of sustainable manufacturing), only producing durable goods (too narrow, as sustainable manufacturing also considers processes), and using only organic materials (not the sole or most comprehensive criterion) are less accurate.

Answer:

Sustainable businesses avoid wasting or damaging natural resources.
