Usually, we put recycling on top of
everything, but today on the 5 R process, it
comes in last. Five actions should
respectively be taken if possible before
recycling any products. These R’s include
refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose and finally,
recycle. This is an important methodology
for businesses to follow to ensure they can
reduce waste and boost their recycling
efforts. This ultimately lessens the amount
of waste that will end up in landfill and
will optimize your recycling programs.
REFU
Refuse when offered things that are not necessary.
SE
• Tell suppliers not to use unnecessary packing
materials. Inform them of GCC’s Banned
Materials List and ask them to use alternatives.
• Refuse single use plastics. If a synthetic material must
be used, make sure it can be reused multiple times.
• Innovate packing methods so that minimal materials
are required. Try fixing objects mechanically with
custom-made crating, using cotton or nylon straps to
secure objects without the need for foam materials.
• Substitute synthetic packing materials for natural
biodegradable products wherever possible.
REDUC
E
Simply reduce the amount of product
used, bought, and thrown away.
