4R Concept: Reduce, Replace, Reuse and Recycle

4R concept means Reduce, Replace, Reuse and Recycle. By practicing the 4R concept in our daily life, we can reduce the production of wastes and use the resources more effectively.

1) Reduce Reduce the use of unnecessary material and energy. Example : Buy only what you really need 'Bring your own bag' while shopping Buy home care product with family size Reduce the use of tissue paper Reduce disposable eating utensils Use environmental-friendly material

3) Reuse Reuse resources if possible. Example : Use both sides of paper Reuse plastic bags Reuse containers

2) Replace Replace goods which are harmful to the environment by environmental friendly ones. Example : Buy returnable bottled drinks Store food in boxes instead of using plastic wrapping films Use rechargeable batteries or AC electricity instead of disposable battery

4) Recycle Classify and recycle garbage Garbage could be separated and collected by contractors, and recycled into new materials/products finally, e.g. recycled paper. Advantages of Recycling: Reduce the amount of garbage produced. Enable the Earth's resources to be sustained continuously.
