The Waste Hierarchy
The Waste Hierarchy is a way to rate waste management options by what is best for the environment.
Prevent
Firstly, consider waste prevention. This is the idea of not generating waste in the first place.
Reuse
Secondly, think about reuse and rehome – does it really need to be thrown in the bin?
