∙ Reduction of use of plastics reduces the generation of non eco-friendly waste, in the first place.
∙ Reusing the same product further reduces the accumulation of waste. For example, your school books can be reused by someone else, after you get promoted to the next grade.
∙ Recycling reduces the amount of raw materials needed for any industry. For example, recycling paper can reduce the amount of wood needed. Thus, it will reduce deforestation.
