Globally, only about 9% of plastic ever gets recycled, and e-waste is piling up faster than any other kind of garbage. The best way to limit waste is to create less of it in the first place.

Then comes reduce, which is all about buying less stuff. Next, reuse & repurpose/repair extend the life of what you already have.
