THE 3‘R’s
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – these three 'R' words are an important part of sustainable living, as
they help to cut down on the amount of waste we have to throw away.
• It's Really simple!
• Reduce the amount of waste you produce.
• Reuse items as much as you can before replacing them.
• Recycle items wherever possible.
• Using the 3 'R's also helps to minimize the amount of space needed for landfill sites, where
waste materials are disposed of.

R1: How can I reduce the amount of waste I
produce?
The first 'R' is all about creating less waste. Here are some of the
ways you can do this:

1.Only buy what you need


2.Choose products with less packaging
3.Buy in bulk
4.Look for items that you can re-use
Water is a precious resource. How can you use less of it?
Reducing the amount of waste we all generate is a great way to
benefit the environment.
R2: How can I reuse what I have?
The second 'R' looks at how you can use certain items again
(ideally multiple times) before replacing them. Here are
some ideas:

•Refill a water bottle with water from home instead of


buying a new one
•Update your computer rather than throwing it out and
getting a replacement
•Ditch plastic bags and choose reusable, environmentally-
friendly bags instead
Recycling old items helps to reduce waste sent to landfill.
A bonus of reusing? As well as helping the environment, you
could save money too!
R3: How can I recycle the products I use?
The third 'R' is about making sure you separate items that can be recycled, meaning they can be used
for a new purpose.
Materials that can be recycled include:

Glass Cardboard Aluminium Lead


Batteries
Before you throw something away, think about whether all or part of it could be recycled.
For example, did you know the components of your old computer can be recycled to make
new components?
SUMMARY
• The 3 'R's – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – are all about minimizing the
amount of waste we produce, reusing products as much as we can,
and remembering to recycle any materials that can be used for a new
purpose.
