4 R's Model

The 4 R's Model is a framework for sustainable waste management, emphasizing four key principles: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recover. "Reduce" encourages minimizing waste generation, "Reuse" focuses on finding new uses for items to extend their life, "Recycle" involves processing materials into new products, and "Recover" refers to extracting energy from waste that cannot be reused or recycled. Together, these steps help decrease environmental impact, conserve resources, and promote more responsible consumption and disposal practices. The model guides individuals and organizations toward more sustainable habits in managing waste responsibly.
