What is cleaner production (CP) primarily focused on?

  1. Increasing product durability

  2. Reducing or eliminating the creation of pollutants

  3. Enhancing product aesthetics

  4. Expanding market reach

The correct answer is: Reducing or eliminating the creation of pollutants

Cleaner production (CP) is primarily focused on reducing or eliminating the creation of pollutants. This means that CP is focused on finding new ways to manufacture products that are environmentally friendly and do not produce harmful substances that can negatively impact the environment or human health. Option A is incorrect because CP is not solely focused on increasing product durability, although this may be a positive outcome of implementing CP practices. Option C is incorrect because CP is not primarily concerned with enhancing product aesthetics, although this may also be a positive side effect. Option D is incorrect because CP is not about expanding market reach, but rather about finding more sustainable and environmentally friendly methods of production.
