The 3Rs of waste management is an initiative that was developed in the early 2000s as a method that helps all of us to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill or incineration, and to reduce the amount of items being produced unnecessarily. The 3Rs stand for Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Reduce the consumption of direct products (what is purchased and consumed) since this has a direct relationship with the waste we generate. If we reduce soncumption, we reduce the impact on the environment.
Reuse means to use something again, withe for its original pupose or repurposed for a different task. By reusing, you prevent goods and materials froma entering the waste chain; and with this, you reduce the volume of garbage and generate less pollution.
Recycle means to convert waste into material that can be used to remake the item, or to make something else. However, we must remember that recycling wastes energy and pollutes during processing.
