using this material in its/their appropriate technological setting. You should also consider
the environmental impact of the (likely) wastes arising from the production and use of the
material(s) including what happens at end-of-life. Social/economic and practical issues
associated with obtaining any raw/other materials for use in manufacture should also be

and, where possible, by numerical data for the material(s) you are considering, although we

You should use your evaluation to draw clear conclusions about the benefits and drawbacks
of the materials(s) considered.
