WASTE HIERARCHY
The waste management hierarchy indicates an order of preference for action to reduce and manage waste, and to create a more sustainable product
The hierarchy captures the progression of a material or product through successive stages of waste management, and represents the latter part of the life cycle of a product.
The aim of the waste hierarchy is to extract the maximum practical benefits from products and to generate the minimum amount of waste.
Nowadays, we focus on the 3 central R of the waste hierarchy, but this is expanding. In the following survey we have classified the brands’ innovations into REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE or RECOVER STAGES for new products on the market.
