 Reduce:
REDUCE is about using less and having
less of an impact on the environment.
This applies to everything we do, from
designing cars that make fewer demands
on the environment to creating
manufacturing processes that use fewer
resources and create less pollution.

 Reuse:
REUSE means to use
something again that you
would normally throw
away. When you reuse, you
use fewer natural resources
and also save the energy
that is needed to make a
replacement.

8 05/04/2022 Concept Of 4R
 Recycle:
RECYCLE means the product
goes through a mechanical
process to change its form.
Recycling saves energy,
resources and materials from
creating brand new products.

9 05/04/2022 Concept Of 4R
 Recovery:

If the waste remains

after it is been reused
and recycled, we can
use it to generate
energy at our waste-
energy plant. This is
known as
RECOVERY.

10 05/04/2022 Concept Of 4R
 Principle of 4R
4R means Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and
Restore. We must reduce the use of
resources as much as possible and save
them for the future generation. Reducing
the usage is a method of conservation of
resources.

11 05/04/2022 Concept Of 4R
 Importance of 4R
• Some importance of the 4R principle are:
• To utilize the waste materials.
• To maintain environmental health.
• To minimize land and water pollution.
• To reduce consumption of needless items.
• To promote the use of degradable products.
• To utilize products to their maximum life.

12 05/04/2022 Concept Of 4R
 Examples of 4R concept
• Instead of using polythene bags we should give
preference to paper bags.
• Plastic bags can be reused to make decorative things.

 Conclusion
By growing awareness and gaining an understanding of the
environmental impacts we have on our planet, we can be
better informed of where and how to act. A lack of awareness
and responsibility has all added up to polluted land, sea, and
air.
