What would be a more sustainable alternative to the used production and/or distribution process?

Any amount of sources you need is fine..
Guidelines…
where does the good, ingredient and part originate from? What is the MOST important production step(s). how far was it mostly transported and means of transportation (if not made in Canada). Through how many hands did the product go in production/distribution process. who benefits most financially from the sale of good. what role women play in the processes, is there a gender divide? How sustainable is the production process of this item? What would be a more sustainable alternative to the used production and/or distribution process?

Please my selection of ‘no sources required’ should be ignored, as this order does not have a specific amount of sources
required.. Writer can use as many as he/she needs. Thanks.
