5. • What the songs all about?
• How does the five Rs of proper
ways management help our
earth?

7. WHAT WILL
YOU DO ABOUT
THESE
MATERIALS TO
HELP OR SAVE
OUR EARTH?

9. What the video tells
about?
How can you practice
the Recycle, Reduce,
re used, recover and
repair the wastes?
Give Examples

10. 5R’s in waste management stands for reduce, reuse, recycle,
recover and repair. These are the modern methods used to
effectively manage our wastes. Practicing the 5R’s also makes
help our surroundings clean and beautiful. Managing waste is
everyone’s responsibility. We live in a beautiful world. It is our duty
to protect, preserve and conserve our environment.
Start practicing the 5R’s now.
You can save the planet Earth from piles of garbage that causes
pollution if you know how to manage the waste of useful materials.
You can apply the techniques of managing the wastes using 5Rs
(Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Recover and Repair).

11. The 5R’s in Waste Management
Recycle - Recycling is one of the key
components in the waste management system.
It is the process of converting waste materials into
new materials and objects.
Reduce - To make something smaller or use less,
resulting in a smaller amount of waste. Waste
reduction simply means reducing the things that
we use and only consume what is necessary.

12. Reuse - Reusing is a method or a practice of using something
again. Reusing a product more than one time benefits us as well
as the environment.
Recover - Recover means taking energy or material from
wastes that cannot be use anymore
Repair - Repair is fixing or restoring broken items to be used
again.
The importance of 5Rs (recycle, reduce, reuse, recover and
repair)
It saves energy and money
Preserving new materials
Reducing air and water pollution
Saves the environment

14. Activity: Check Me!
Directions: Put a check (/) if the statement tells about the 5Rs of
waste management and cross (x) if the statement does not tell
about the 5Rs.
_______ 1. Use a cloth bag when you go shopping for
groceries.
_______ 2. Print on both sides of paper or reuse it as scratch
paper.
_______ 3. Use foil, plastic bags, or wrap to store food.
_______ 4. Have appliances repaired instead of buying new
ones.
_______ 5. Use paper bags and throw them away after using
them only once.

15. Directions: list down ways on how to dispose of each materials below.

1. softdrinks
2.medicine bottles
3.plastic container
4. left over food
5.vegetable peeling
6.styro foam
7 piece of paper
8. broken appliances

16. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Recover and Repair are ways of Waste
Management.
They will help lessen the production of waste materials that will cause
harmful effects in the environment because instead of throwing and
disposing the waste products, people were able to find ways to make
another product, lessen the use of unnecessary materials, use again
materials in different purpose, take energy from waste materials and
use into more beneficial use and learn how to fix and restore broken
items to be used again.
If people will really follow the 5Rs of Waste Management, harmful
effects of waste materials to the environment will be prevented

17. DIRECTIONS: WRITE THE CONCEPT OF 5RS AS DESCRIBED BY EACH IMPORTANCE.

18. Gather some materials at home that have harmful
effects to the environment.
What will be step to lessen the chance of harming the
environment due to these
materials?
