5 R’s

TO SAVE
ENVIRONMENT
PRESENTED BY-
(your name)
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.

• Rethink the amount of packing materials


required for safe transport.
• Set a target to half the amount of packaging
ordered over the next year.
• Ask framers and other suppliers to minimize
their packaging, especially for short journeys.
• Use custom or appropriately sized boxes to
avoid filling empty space with excessive
materials.
REUSE
Try using old bottles as vases, use silicone wraps for
food, plastic containers for next food purchases.
Engaging feelings with things or products is also
effective when reusing the products.

• Old clothes? Transform it magically into convenient reusable


bags or cute pet clothes.

• Food scraps? Convert them into an easy Quiche, tasty fried


rice mix, or flavorful soup stock.

• Plastic container? Let your indoor garden have it.

• Take a second look carefully before throwing your things out.


What you might discard away today would be your regret of
tomorrow.
REPURPO
SE
This means when a product can no more
be used for the original purpose, think
carefully and use it for some other useful
purpose. For example, crack crockery, or
cups with broken handles can use to
grow small plants and I'm feeding
vessels for birds.
RECYC
LE
Go to thrift stores, recycle shops or
donate your old unwanted items to
people who need it. You can as well as
get new items to fill up your house.
In recycling any plastic, paper, glass, or
metal, always clean them thoroughly
before throwing them into the blue bin.
This would increase your recyclables’
chances of being processed as you just
lessened the risk of contamination from
dirt.
