Let's Precycle!

Let's Learn to PRECYCLE!

Precycling is how we can prevent recycling, when we can precycle we also prevent accumulating garbage in the future.

Here are some simple tips we can do in our own little way:

1. When buying things at the store, we can bring our own shopping bag or the clothe bags also known as tote bags to put our groceries.  This way, we can prevent recycling additional plastic bags, we're also reducing its use and we are recycling an existing one! how cool is that?

2. If we can buy lesser disposable items like shampoos in sachet and reuse old containers instead, we can prevent piling up more garbage. (tip for storing travel sized shampoos and liquid soaps: reuse old 50-100ml containers of hand sanitizers or rubbing alcohol to store your shampoo, liquid soap, lotion for light travel packing. This way you can avoid the disposable items, and stack them neatly in a reusable toiletry bag. isn't it cool?

3. Buy products in large quantities. This way we can put them in smaller reusable containers whenever we need them on the go. This way we use lesser containers.

4. If possible when buying products, we can look for the "recycle" logo in containers.  This is one way to help support recycling.

5. Read labels and ingredients.  Let's try to avoid using products that can harm animal life and poison the earth.

6. Buy products packed in containers we can reuse or recycle like jars.
