On: Plastics recycling with microbes and worms is further away than we think (2018)

[fastball]

That is the plan.

"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" is the mantra, after all.

[bergstromm466 → fastball]

There’s even two more R’s now:

refuse

reduce

reuse (+repair)

recycle

rot

[lotsofpulp → bergstromm466]

What’s the difference between refuse and reduce?

[pixl97 → lotsofpulp]

My guess would be to refuse some things, like plastic food wrappers where they can be switched out with paper. Reduce is using the same product material but using less of it in a single package.
