Use of 5R Concept


5R Activities – The Core of ZWTL Program

LANDFILL

REFUSE• Avoid buying anything that

becomes waste

RETURN • Return packaging materialsto suppliers

REDUCE • Reduce waste at the source

REUSE • Re-use everything possible

RECYCLE• Recycle any remaining

waste streams

Total Waste ID • Know your waste

Recipe for Success 7: Use of 5R Concept

Identify Waste

Waste Profiling


Partnership With Suppliers

Green Procurement

RETURN REUSE

RECYCLE

REFUSE REDUCE


5R – Refuse Activity

Before

Styrofoam glued to the corrugated liner

After

No glue used, but snaps on type

Results

1. No glue to buy and store

2. No drying time

1. Much easier to separate Styrofoam from liner

2. No more use of a knife to cut the glued joint

RECYCLE Optimized Packaging Style & Recycle waste

5R – Reduce Activity

REDUCE Improved Yields
