(a)
Interpretation:
The example for each of the four given R and the plastic involved in it has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
(b)
Interpretation:
The example that depicts the link between public health and waste reduction has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers: Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization. Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.

Companies will say they are using practices that benefit the environment while really not taking any steps to do so.
