Actions taken before waste is generated to either reduce or completely prevent the generation of waste.
Waste reduction (or prevention) is the preferred approach to waste management because waste that never gets created doesn't have any associated waste management costs.
An example of waste reduction is reducing unnecessary packaging from manufactured products and produce. If this excess packaging were never produced in the first place, no one would have to be concerned with the cost and effort of collecting the excess packaging, separating it for recycling, breaking it down, transporting it to manufacturers, and then integrating the recycled materials back into the manufacturing process.
Waste reduction also helps conserve resources for future generations and contributes to a cleaner environment.
ReuseUsing an object or material again, either for its original purpose or for a similar purpose, without significantly altering the physical form of the object or material.
Reuse is not recycling, because recycling alters the physical form of an object or material. Reuse is generally preferred to recycling because reuse generally consumes less energy and resources than recycling. Waste is defined as material for which no use or reuse is intended. Thus, reuse prevents objects and materials from becoming waste.
RecycleUsing waste as material to manufacture a new product. Recycling involves altering the physical form of an object or material and making a new object from the altered material.
Recycling is not waste prevention because only waste can be recycled. One must generate waste in order to recycle the waste. Therefore, if you are recycling, you have already generated waste. Although recycling is a very good thing, ideally it would be better to not generate any waste.
