  • The 6 R's
    • Reduce
      • is it possible to reduce the amount of materials used? This will help to protect valuable resources.
    • Reuse
      • could the product have another use? Could its parts be used in other products? Is this information clearly communicated on the product? This will extend its life.
    • Refuse
      • this means not accepting things that are not the best option for the environment. For example, is the packaging really needed?
    • Recycle
      • could recycled materials be used, or is the product made from materials that are easy to recycle?
    • Repair
      • is the product easy to repair? This will extend its life.
    • Rethink
      • is there a better way to solve this problem that is less damaging to the environment?
