The three Rs of sustainability (Option C) are Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, which form the foundation of waste reduction and environmental conservation.

Why Option C is Correct?

Reduce: Minimizing resource use to decrease environmental impact.

Reuse: Repurposing items instead of discarding them.

Recycle: Processing waste into new products to prevent landfill accumulation.

IFMA’s Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability competency stresses waste reduction and sustainable facility operations as a critical FM responsibility.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?

Option A (Reduce, remove, and replace): This does not align with sustainability principles.

Option B (Reduce, reuse, and repurpose): Repurposing is similar to reusing, but recycling is the correct third element.
