The preferred hierarchy of supply chain strategies is 1) source reduction-design or use less, 2) reuse-multiple use of same item such as a package or container, 3) recycle-reprocess into raw material, 4) incinerate-at least extract energy, but create CO₂ pollution at a minimum, 5) landfill-require space and transportation to store with potential impact on land and water.
