This system ranks waste management strategies from the most to the least environmentally favourable, with the most effective strategies at the top.<\/p>\n<p>The European Week for Waste Reduction puts <strong>waste prevention at the heart of the waste hierarchy<\/strong>. The familiar <strong>3 \u201cR\u201d strategies \u2014 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle<\/strong> \u2014 provide a simple starting point. But preventing waste requires us to look beyond these three actions and rethink the entire way we produce, consume and use resources.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h5>The 10 Rs: a better framework to prevent waste<\/h5>\n<p>The 10 Rs of the circular economy help us explore the many ways of keeping products and materials in use for longer, while reducing the need for new resources. In order of preferability (highest to lowest), these are: <strong>Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle, Rot\/Recover<\/strong>, they invite us to ask a more fundamental question: <em><strong>\u201cDo we need to consume this resource in the first place and, if we do, how can we keep its value for as long as possible?\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The higher the R, the more we prioritise the prevention of material waste in the first place. By reducing waste, higher R strategies are therefore better at preserving the value of material resources and products, whereas lower R strategies lose more value. This demonstrates the marriage of economic and environmental benefits within a circular economy and invites us to always consider whether higher R strategies can be achieved.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-hwrapper valign_top stack_on_mobiles align_none\" style=\"--hwrapper-gap:0rem\"><div class=\"w-vwrapper align_none valign_top us_custom_99f74c2c\" style=\"--vwrapper-gap:2rem\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><b>R0 &#8211; Refuse<\/b><br \/>\nBefore purchasing or using something, <b>pause and question the need<\/b>.
