INORGANIC WASTE

decompose d and become a natural part of
the soil again. It is called inorganic because

SOURCE
Waste hierarchy - The waste hierarchy refers
to the
"3 Rs" concept which comprises of reduce,
reuse and recycle, which classify waste
management strategies according to their
desirability in terms of waste minimization.
The waste hierarchy remains the cornerstone
of most waste minimization strategies. The
aim of the waste hierarchy is to extract the
maximum practical benefits from products
and to generate the minimum amount of
waste.
