Waste Hierarchy

Waste Hierarchy

Refers to the "3 Rs" reduce, reuse and recycle which classify waste management strategies according to rank in order of importance or impact on the environment. The aim of the waste hierarchy is to extract the maximum practical benefits from products and to generate the minimum amount of waste. The tip of the hierarchy or pyramid is elimination, the ultimate minimalization.
