The waste management hierarchy is a list of preferred approaches to waste management that shows which is the most and which is the least preferable way to deal with waste.
In this hierarchy prevention of waste is the most favoured option and waste disposal or landfill, the least favoured option.
Reduce Reuse Recycle
The 3R's of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle are a practical way of developing good waste management policies. If we all make an effort to reduce the amount of rubbish we produce, reuse more of the products we already have and recycle as much as possible, we will dramatically reduce the amount of waste which is landfilled.
