HOW YOU CAN REDUCE WASTE

You Can Reduce Waste !

Reducing waste is the most preferable course of action, because it avoids the generation of waste in the first place.

Reduce -> Re-use -> Reycycle -> Responsible Disposal

1. Reduce = the quality of waste your produce

2. Re-use = items instead of throwing them away

3. Recycle = items to make new products

4. Responsiblity Dispose = of any remaining waste

There are many ways you can reduce waste at home, school or work :

FOOD WASTE

• When freezing food, wrap tightly and label with a date to reduce spoilage
• Buy smaller quantities of fresh fruit and vegetables more often
• Refrigerate leftovers correctly and use promptly to reduce spoilage

PAPER WASTE

• Use the hand dryers in the toilets when drying your hands, not paper towels.
• Use reusable crockery in preferance to disposible products such as paper platers
• Put a "No junk Mail" sign on your letterbox
• Send documentary by email

PLASTIC BAGS

• If you are only buying a few items, say 'no thanks' to a plastic bags
• Take your own re-usable bag when shopping

PACKAGING WASTE

• Reduce the packaging waste associated with disposibles by purchasing durable items instead
• Buy concentrated cleaning materials and re-usable pump sprays
• Purchase goods in bulk as this often reduces packaging

Comment :
there are many ways to reduce waste beside this way. for example you can make a recycle bag from wrap laundry soap former, snack wrap former, etc. and if you are shopping, you can bring that bag to put your groceries instead using a plastic bag.
