As my grandma used to say, 'Reduce, reuse, recycle, and don't forget to compost!' Seems like A, B, C, and D cover all the bases.

I'm going with all of the above. Sustainable procurement is like a four-course meal - you can't just have the main course and call it a day.

Hah, end-of-life disposal? More like end-of-the-world disposal if we don't get this right. Better check all those boxes!

Definitely A, B, C, and D. You can't just focus on one aspect and call it sustainable. Gotta look at the whole life cycle.

Well, this is a no-brainer. All of those factors should be considered for sustainable procurement. Product design, manufacturing, re-use, and disposal - it's a holistic approach, isn't it?

I agree with Pauline. Re-use and recycling options and end of life disposal are also important.
