Section B
Directions:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.
Companies Are Working with Consumers to Reduce Waste
[A]As consumers,we are very wasteful.Annually,the world generates1.3billion tons of solid waste.This is expected to go up to2.2billion by2025.The developed countries are responsible for44%of waste,and in the U.S.alone,the average person throws away their body weight in rubbish every month.
[B]Conventional wisdom would seem to suggest that companies have no incentive to lengthen the life cycle of their products and reduce the revenue they would get from selling new goods.Yet,more and more businesses are thinking about how to reduce consumer waste.This is partly driven by the rising price of raw materials and metals.It is also partly due to both consumers and companies becoming more aware of the need to protect our environment.
[C]When choosing what products to buy and which brands to buy from,more and more consumers ar
e looking into sustainability.This is opposed to just price and performance they were concerned about in the past.In a survey of54of the world’s leading brands,almost all of them reported that consumers are showing increasing care about sustainable lifestyles.At the same time, surveys on consumers in the U.S.and the U.K.show that they also care about minimizing energy use and reducing waste.
[D]For the most part,consumers control what happens to a product.But some companies are realizing that placing the burden of recycling entirely on the consumer is not an effective strategy, especially when tossing something away seems like the easiest and most convenient option.
[E]Some retailers and manufacturers in the clothing,footwear,and electronics industries have launched environmental programs.They want to make their customers interested in preserving their products and preventing things that still have value from going to the garbage dump.By offering services to help expand the longevity of their products,they’re promising quality and durability to consumers,and receiving the reputational gains for being environmentally friendly.
[F]For example,the Swedish jeans company Nudie Jeans offers free repair at twenty of their shops.Instead of discarding their old worn-out jeans,customers bring them in to be renewed.The company provides mail-order repair kits and online videos,so that customers can learn how to fix a p
air of jeans at home.Their philosophy is that extending the life of a pair of jeans is not only great for the environment,but allows the consumer to get more value out of their product. When customers do want to toss their pair,they can give them back to the store,which will repurpose and resell them.Another clothing company,Patagonia,a high-end outdoor clothing store,follows the same principle.It has partnered with DIY website iFixit to teach consumers how to repair their clothing,such as waterproof outerwear,at home.The company also offers a repair program for their customers for a modest fee.Currently,Patagonia repairs about40,000garments a year in their Reno,Nevada,service center.According to the company’s CEO,Rose Marcario, this is about building a company that cares about the environment.At the same time,offering
