What are 3 R's to save the environment?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation :

  1. The 3R Initiative intends to promote the "3Rs" reduce, reuse, and recycle internationally to create a sustainable material-cycle society by maximizing resource and material efficiency.
  2. The "3Rs" approach reduces waste, reuses waste materials, and recycles resources and products.
  3. Reducing waste implies deciding to use items with care to limit the quantity of waste produced.
  4. Reusing refers to the recurrent use of items or parts of things that are still usable—for instance, reusing water plastic bottles to make a plant holder.
  5. Recycling refers to the use of garbage as a resource. It is the process of gathering and processing items that would otherwise be discarded as waste and transforming them into new products.
  6. Waste minimization can be accomplished more efficiently by concentrating on the first of the 3Rs, "reduce," then "reuse," and finally "recycle."
