The Five R’s Of Recycling

With Global Warming, Climate Change and the fragile state of the Environment all being hot topics of conversation around the World, it’s no wonder Presidents, Prime Ministers, Politicians, Environmental Activists and the ordinary person in the street are trying to do all they can in order to save the Planet.  Recycling has become one easy way in which households across the Country here in England can make a positive difference.  The Five R’s of Recycling which are, 1) Reduce, 2) Repurpose, 3) Reuse, 4) Refuse and 5) Refurbish, are helping homeowners everywhere remember to contribute to the helpful scheme.  1) REDUCE waste by making conscious purchasing decisions and choosing products with less packaging, 2) REPURPOSE by transforming items into something different and giving them a new purpose or function rather than discarding them. 3) REUSE by extending the lifespan of products and using them multiple times, 4) REFUSE, Say “NO” to unnecessary items and products by ordering bulk purchases and minimising packaging.  5) REFURBISH, probably one of the most important aspects of Recycling, with approximately 103,000 tonnes of computers, laptops and electrical waste being thrown into UK Landfills every year, it’s now vitally important that we all purchase Refurbished Laptops from an experienced, professional, reputable Electronics expert such as refurbishedlaptops.co.uk rather than just throw our old ones away and buy new!  E-waste, as it is known, has nearly doubled in the UK over the last 15 years, so it really is imperative that we invest in REFURBISHED Laptops and stop the rot.
