Resource efficiency is the practice of producing the same output or value while consuming fewer material, energy, or computational inputs. It encompasses minimising waste, reusing by-products, and optimising processes so that resources deliver maximum useful work. In sustainability and industrial contexts it is a primary lever for reducing cost and environmental footprint.
