Question

Environmental pollution by plastics can be minimized by practising the 4R principle, which stands for:

• A. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Remember.
• B. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover.
• C. Reduce, Reuse,, Rework and Recycle.
• D. Reduce, Regenerate, Rework and Recycle.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover.

The 4R principle is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover. This principle is environmentally friendly and would help reduce environmental pollution to an extent.

The principle directs people to

•Reduce the usage of resources. Use them only if necessary.

•Reuse the resources (or materials) if possible. For example, reusing cloth bags for shopping.

•Recycle materials if they are no longer usable.

•Recover materials; converting waste into usable resources.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$.
