An Infopac on the 3Rs

While '3Rs' stand for reduce, reuse and recycle, the concept itself goes beyond just better waste management and calls for the building of an economy based on the life-cycle approach, covering both sustainable production and sustainable consumption.

3R - Think again before throwing your waste away.

The 3R Infopac - "Second Opinion" - is a collection on 3R policies, strategies and actions for material efficiency and waste minimization.
