Read the text version

Think beyond the recycling bin.

RAW MATERIALS → MAKING → TRANSPORT → USE

What happens next?

REPAIR: make it work again.

REUSE: use the item again.

RECYCLE: process its material into new products.

COMPARE FAIRLY

Compare products doing the same job the same number of times.

Making, washing and transport all use resources.
