Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle – Five actions that can make your organizationand youa better steward.
Refuse
Refuse to buy or accept products that can harm you, your company and the environment.Use the power of your dollar to tell companies what you want and do not want.
Reduce
Reuse
Reuse something you already have instead of buying something. Replace needing a single use item, with something you can use over and over again. Both of these options will save you money as well.

Repurpose
Repurpose – to take something and use it for something else. This requires a bit of thinking and craftiness, but doesn’t have to be beautiful.
Recycle
And last but not least, if the above four options won’t work, recycle. Maybe you missed the opportunity to refuse or reduce because you just weren’t there in your green journey when these purchases were made. Maybe there is no alternative. Recycling is a great way to open your eyes to all that you toss and a chance to rethink your future purchases.
Conclusion:
According to the 5 R's, four actions should be taken, if possible, prior to 'recycling': refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and then recycle. Incorporating this methodology into your business' waste reduction and recycling efforts will minimize landfill waste and help take your recycling program to the next level.
