The Waste Hierarchy

Waste Hierarchy


Avoid

Waste should be avoided or prevented.


Reduce

Reduce costs and increase profits by reducing the amount of waste at source and maximising resource use.


Reuse & Repair

Waste materials and products should be reused directly, or repaired then reused


Recycle

Waste materials should then be recycled or reprocessed into a form that allows them to be reclaimed as a secondary raw material.


Energy Recovery

The energy content of waste materials should be recovered and used as a substitute for non-renewable energy resources.


Disposal

Only if waste cannot be prevented, reclaimed or recovered, should it be disposed of by landfill.
