Resources have five levels that they flow through (recovery does not count in the following list, it is mainly for energy restoration of electronic devices).
2. Secondary - Production - The primary are then used to create secondary products, examples are : butchering meat, iron-productions, house construction (out of elements), producing and running industrial machines.
3. Third Level - Marketing. Marketing can be defined as the set of activities and processes through which goods, services, or ideas are exchanged between producers and consumers in a market economy. It involves identifying consumer needs and wants, developing products or services to meet those demands, and promoting and distributing them to the target audience to facilitate transactions and generate revenue.
4. Fourth level - Consumption/personal use. What does the individual consumer do with the product after having bought it? This includes how the consumers transport goods for themselves.
5. Fifth level - Waste & recycling.
~All levels require some burning or use of energy. ~ All levels can be designed. ~ All levels can be automated. ~All levels can be simulated. ~All levels can have regulation and regulators (governing bodies).
