What are 'downstream activities' primarily concerned with?

The extraction of raw materials for products
The processing of materials through delivery to the end user
The recycling of waste materials
The management of natural resources

The correct answer is: The processing of materials through delivery to the end user

Downstream activities primarily focus on the processing of materials and their journey through delivery to the end user. This phase encompasses all the steps that take place after the manufacturing process, including distribution, marketing, and sales, ensuring that products reach consumers effectively. The context of downstream activities is essential for understanding the complete lifecycle of products, as it highlights the importance of each stage in delivering sustainable options to end users. Efficient downstream practices can reduce waste and enhance the sustainability of products and systems. While extraction of raw materials, recycling, and resource management are important components of product lifecycles, they are categorized under upstream activities or different management processes rather than the downstream phase.
