What is sustainable management? Why is reuse considered better in comparison to recycle ?

Solution

Sustainable Management: It is a pattern of management that promises the use of natural resources in such a way that they meet the human needs in the present as well as in the future.

Reuse also creates less air and water pollution than recycling. Hence, reuse is preferred over recycling.
