Every consumer makes two important choices that affect the amount of waste:
What products you choose to buy or use
At the point of purchase or use, as consumers you have the opportunity to consider a product, its packaging, how it is constructed, whether it can be reused or recycled, and whether it is made from recycled materials. By choosing recycled, recyclable or reusable products, you can extend the functional life of a product and divert it from the landfill.
Purchasing recycled products also helps by creating a market for the recycled material, "completing the loop." Consumer demand is a powerful factor affecting the waste stream, and your decisions make a huge difference.
How we choose to dispose of the product when finished with it.
Once a product has reached the end of its functional life, as consumers you decide how it will enter the waste stream. Reusing, recycling or composting waste materials is always the ideal option.
