The 6 R is an important checklist that can be used to reduce the environmental impact of the product. 6R stands for:
# 1 Rethink: Is there a better way to solve this problem that is less harmful to the environment?
# 2 Refuse: Not accepting things that are not the best option for the environment.
# 3 Reduse: Is it possible to reduce the amount of material used to help protect valuable resources?
# 4 Reuse: Can the product have another use? Can its parts be used in other products?
# 5 Repair: Is the product easy to repair?
# 6 Recycle: Can materials in the product be recycled and used again?
