Some students decide to plant their own garden. They want to eat a more plant-based diet. For meat, they will buy locally from a butcher. Any remaining plant-based scraps will be composted and used as fertilizer for their garden.

Which part of this plan represents recycling to reduce their waste?

Composting the remaining plant-based scraps to use as fertilizer for their garden represents recycling to reduce waste. By composting these scraps, the students are not only reducing the amount of waste that goes to the landfill but also creating a sustainable way to replenish the nutrients in the soil for their garden.
