Each of these stages in

the life cycle presents
an opportunity to
intervene with policy, to
make us question the
need for a product, to
reduce the potential of
waste, and to extend
the period of time that
we use it.

This idea is centered around

reducing the negative impact
of our production and
consumption from using raw
materials to our last use and
disposal.
The third idea of the waste management
definition is resource efficiency
