- 3 R’s of environment i.e., Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, are essential parts of Waste Hierarchy.
- 3 R’s works together to reduce the waste generated and for the improvement of the waste management process.
- In short, we can call three R’s as “The principle of the waste management process.”
Here is the 3R's cycle-
1. Reduce - This means minimizing the use of exhaustible natural resources and also lessening the use of harmful materials. There are some useful tips given below that will help you to reduce the amount of waste-
- It would help if you used cloth napkins instead of using paper tissues because cloth napkins can be reused after wash, but paper napkins will only increase the amount of waste.
- One of the very common wastages we make is “wastage of paper while printing.” You should print on both sides of a paper to minimize the wastage of paper.
- Most of the time, people get attracted to “use & throw type of products,” but these products do not run for a long time and eventually increases the amount of waste. Hence you should choose the products with a long life.
2. Reuse- If you have a bag full of old things that are not in use, then you can find out a way to reuse these thrown away things. The reuse of old stuff can reduce waste and does not affect the waste hierarchy.. There are few tips mentioned below that can help you in reusing the old things.

Most of the time, people have thrown away old jars that can be used to store various items in the kitchen. You can also use old jars to store other items such as computer wires, hairpins, accessories, etc.
- You can use old newspapers to pack old items to store. You can also use newspapers to wrap things when you are moving from one place to another.
- The old tires can be best used as a swing, which is one of the favorite time-pass for kids.
3. Recycle- Recycling is the third stage of the waste management process. Recycling is a process in which the dumping items are transformed into a new item. Choosing the correct item is the very first step in the process of recycling. You can go through the below-mentioned points to get an idea about the recycling items.-
