4R's

1. Reuse

   • Artichture- Reuse bricks from old buildings
   • Products- Reusing glass milk bottles, laundry detergent. Refill plastic bottles.
   • Repurposing- Using sinks for plant pots ect.

2. Recycle

   • Paper- Paper gets recycled into toilet paper
     • Steel- Used food cans are melted down and created into new food cans
       • Wood- Is often turned into new wooden products—such as recycled wooden flooring or garden decking.
         • Glass- Is very easy to recycle; waste bottles and jars can be melted down and used again and again.
           • Vegetable oils- (made by frying food, for example) can be turned into a useful kind of vehicle fuel called biodiesel.
   • Repurposing

3. Recover

   • Recovering energy- Sweden burns non recyclable materials to power energy plants to get energy back from the products rather than burying them in land fills and getting no energy back.

4. Reduce

   • Just in time production- When you make the amount of products to match the demand leaving no left overs. E.G- If a order is taken only the ordered amount of product is made no more or less.
   • Optimise materials choose eco friendly materials.
   • Consider the amount of materials being used- Over packaging of Easter eggs, the less packaging the better for the environment, use less and eco friendly materials.

5. Biodegradable Products

6. Over packaging (Easter Eggs)
