Which one of the following is NOT included in the 'three Rs' of solid waste management?

Recover is not one of the three Rs, which stand for reduce, reuse and recycle in solid waste management.

Reduce is a genuine R that cuts waste at the source by using less.

Recycle is a genuine R that reprocesses materials into new products.

Re-use is a genuine R that puts an item to use again without reprocessing.

Recovery of energy or materials is a further step, distinct from the core three Rs.

Following the three Rs in order lessens the volume of waste sent to landfills.
