10-R Rule
Whenever & Wherever possible
- Rethink = constantly optimizing
- Refuse = to use inefficient designs or materials
- Reduce = complexity and footprint of our processes

- Repair = easy maintenance and repairability
- Repurpose = 2nd life and end of life in mind
- Remanufacture = recyclability wherever possible
- Recycle = waste as good as possible
- Recover = electricity, heat
- Reforest = to really have an impact for a greener world
