Waste Framework Directive
Article 3-12 says that ‘prevention’ means
measures taken before a substance, material or
product has become waste, that reduce:
(a) the quantity of waste, including through the re-
use of products or the extension of the life span
of products;
(b) the adverse impacts of the generated waste on
the environment and human health; or
(c) the content of harmful substances in materials
and products
