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.
