Resources include raw materials such as timber, minerals and metals, water and energy sources. Resource efficiency means that resources are used in the most productive and economical way possible, keeping quantities consumed and waste to a minimum. Ideally an item should be resource-efficient throughout its life - from design and manufacture through to use and disposal.

Les ressources comprennent les matières brutes comme le bois d'œuvre, les minéraux et les métaux, l'eau et les sources d'énergie. Un produit économe en ressources est un produit qui utilise les ressources de la façon la plus efficace et la plus économique qui soit, en produisant le moins de déchets possibles. Idéalement, un produit doit être économe en ressources tout au long de sa durée de vie, soit de sa conception à sa fabrication et de sa période d'utilisation à son élimination.
