Precycling is the practice of avoiding waste before it's created. It requires thinking through the waste created by products you buy - before you make a purchase.
Rather than thinking of precycling as 'buying less,' think of it as 'buying smart.' For decades, manufacturers have distracted people from considering the waste they create.
Examples of simple precycling steps include bringing your own reusable bags to the grocery store to avoid disposable paper or plastic bags and buying fewer disposable products.
When making larger purchases, such as an appliance or car, precycling is important too. Will you be able to recycle the product when its useful life is finished?
