What
are the 3Rs ? Click on the words to reveal their definition |
| Waste Reduction, Re-use and Recycling | |
 |
At least half of what
is thrown away by most people should not be in the bin at all. |
| We can REDUCE waste by not buying disposable things or items with lots of packaging around them. | |
| We can RE-USE waste by using things again and again, for example, by re-using carrier bags for shopping and opening envelopes carefully and using a label to use them again. | |
 |
RECYCLING is a way of separating some waste materials and making them into new products. For example, waste paper can be recycled into new paper and steel cans can be recycled into new cans, or paper clips or parts of bridges. |
