Document Summary
Waste hierarchy most preferred to least preferred option. Rethink: minimize waste amount of waste you produce at product/industrial press design stage. Reduce: change in behaviour / demand. Reuse: use items as many times as possible. Recycle: materials broken down and reused, only do this after used in original form. Recover: turn waste into a new substance or product, energy from waste through incineration. Dispose: responsible disposal, not everything goes into landfill right away. Close loop on our waste cycle so that were not putting things into nature that don"t need to be there. Zero waste society: source reduction, product redesign, reuse, repair, recycling to nature or marketplace. Improved material flows: reduce landfill and incineration air pollution. Life cycle analysis: track and identity the true costs and environmental impacts of products or processes. Voluntary: if someone"s buying someone"s producing and selling, personal purchasing decisions, waste reduction rewards for business. Financial incentives: tax credits for business that reduces waste.
