Mention 3 of the 9 Rs of the circular economy which represent strategies for reducing waste and promoting sustainability
Refuse – Avoid using unnecessary materials or products altogether. Say no to waste from the start.
Rethink – Rethink product design, consumption models, and usage patterns to reduce resource input.
Reduce – Minimize the amount of materials and energy used.
Reuse – Use products or components again for the same purpose without significant modification.
Repair – Fix broken products to extend their life.
Refurbish – Restore old products so they can be used again, possibly with minor upgrades.
Remanufacture – Rebuild products to their original specifications using a mix of reused, repaired, and new parts.
Repurpose – Use a product or its parts for a different purpose than originally intended.
Recycle – Process waste materials into new materials for products, typically involving energy input.
