    The document outlines the life cycle of TOTO ceramic sanitary products from Indonesia to the USA. It shows the stages of mining, processing, production including molding and packaging in Indonesia. It then shows transport from Indonesia to the USA, packaging of products for resellers, purchase by consumers, and eventual disposal. It also compares ceramic and glass materials, noting ceramic is energy intensive to produce but durable and rarely recycled, while glass is also energy intensive but essentially infinitely recyclable though processing alters its properties.
