What is Source Reduction?
Source reduction is the practice of minimizing the amount of waste generated at its origin by using fewer materials, designing products to last longer, or improving production efficiency.
Want to Know More
Source reduction focuses on preventing waste before it is created, rather than managing it after disposal. Examples include using reusable packaging, reducing excess materials in manufacturing, and designing products for durability. It differs from recycling or composting, which handle waste after it is produced. Related terms include waste prevention and eco-design. Effective source reduction helps conserve resources, lower costs, and reduce environmental impacts.
