What are the role of 4 R's in Waste Management?
The 4R Mantra applies to everyone in our eco-system, which includes Reduce, Reuse, Repair, and Recycle!
Waste management, has evolved into the most pressing issues, confronting humanity today. We are producing massive volumes of waste of all types, as a result of the phenomenal expansion in human population and industrial activity. Waste can no longer be discarded or buried and ignored due to its massive size.
Waste management is no longer merely a problem to be solved; it is increasingly becoming a matter of sustainability. Waste management has evolved into a systematic process that includes the collection, transportation, and correct disposal of waste, sewage, and other waste products, as well as the provision of various options for recycling the materials and putting the waste to productive use.
In this blog, we will discuss about the R’s of waste management.
The four R's of waste management
· Reduce
To make something smaller or utilize less, results in reduced waste. Waste reduction simply means limiting our consumption to only what is absolutely essential.
This reduces the quantity of waste generated in the end and keeps it out of the landfill. This also minimizes the demand for natural resources used in waste treatment, as well as natural resources needed to create new products. Reducing what we use can also save a lot of money, because we cease purchasing the product totally.
For example, we can limit our use of bottled water by carrying a steel bottle, instead of sending used bottles to a landfill/recycling facility. Also, instead of buying new toys all the time, construct your own.
· Reuse
Reuse is a process or practice of reusing something. This can be done to either use the product for its intended purpose, or to perform a new function. Reusing a product more than once benefits both us and the environment.
Reusing also saves time, money, energy, and materials. Glass jars, for example, can be found in the kitchen. After being emptied, these jars are reused several times. Old books can be reused by others after they have been used once. If the book is a notebook, it can be read or the paper can be used for other purposes.
By using cloth gift bags, you may avoid ripping the paper from your gifts. If you carefully remove the wrapping paper, you can reuse it.
· Repair
Nowadays, it is quicker to buy a new product than to repair and use an old one. This is especially true for electrical goods, like mobile phones and household appliances, which may last a long period if properly maintained. Reducing, reusing, and recycling reduce both the demand for and the rate at which natural resources are utilized.
· Recycle
It is an important part of the waste management. It is the transformation of waste resources into new materials and things.It is the technique of reprocessing and reusing objects that would otherwise be disposed as waste, in the same or a different form.
This procedure saves a significant amount of time, energy, resources, and money. It also decreases the utilization of natural raw materials in manufacturing. To lessen environmental stress, it is critical to purchase recycled as well as recyclable products. Your old notebooks, for example, can be recycled into recycled paper, and then used to bind new notebooks.
Some examples of recyclable items include:
• Aluminium cans
• Building Supplies
• Corrugated cardboard
• Electronic Devices
• Glass (particularly bottles and jars)
• Lead
• Metal
• Newspapers
• Paint
• Paper
Conclusion
In recent times, waste has become a major issue for both the environment and mankind. Our water sources, grasslands, pastures, and public areas are all impacted by the waste we generate. It is critical to begin Refusing, Reducing, Reusing, and learning about Recycling at an early age.
