This change of direction originated from the 4R approach : reduction at the source, reuse, recycling and recovery.
This method encourages us, first and foremost, to reduce our consumption and to choose products with as little packaging as possible. Finally, for the products we buy, it is important to promote their reuse, whether through recycling, composting or repair.
