Reuse is use an item more than ones. Reuse is very different from recycling. Instead of carefully discarding items that can be recycled to make new products, reuse involves using the items in another way, when their primary use is finished. Reuse means using something again rather thorowing it. That usually means finding a new use, such as making a jelly jar into a drinking glass, making a old towel into a whip, making a bottle into a jet with no wings, there are many other ways of reusing...... ___

[] To **reuse ** is to use an item more than once. This includes conventional reuse where the item is used again for the same function, and new-life reuse where it is used for a new function. In contrast, [|recycling] is the breaking down of the used item into [|raw materials] which are used to make new items. By taking useful products and exchanging them, without reprocessing, reuse help save time, money, energy, and resources. In broader economic terms, reuse offers quality products to people and organizations with limited means, while generating jobs and business activity that contribute to the economy. Historically, financial motivation was one of the main drivers of reuse. In the developing world this driver can lead to very high levels of reuse, however rising wages and consequent consumer demand for the convenience of disposable products has made the reuse of low value items such as packaging uneconomic in richer countries, leading to the demise of many reuse programs. Current environmental awareness is gradually changing attitudes and regulations, such as the new packaging regulations, are gradually beginning to reverse the situation. The classic example of conventional reuse is the doorstep delivery of [|milk] in refillable [|bottles] ; other examples include the [|retreading of tires] and the use of reusable plastic boxes (transit packing) instead of single-use cardboard [|cartons].

[]  While manufacturing new products drains our limited natural resources and disposing unwanted materials pollutes our environment, our communities are encumbered for lack of affordable goods.  One way to prevent waste, improve our communities, and increase the material well-being of our citizens is to take useful products discarded by those who no longer want or need them and provide them to those who do. This is reuse - an old business taking on many new forms! Every community has some existing form of reuse - every community needs more reuse now! Volunteer efforts, for-profit businesses and charities are all making reuse happen including:
 * thrift stores and charitable drop-off centers;
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: BakerSignet BT; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">efforts supplying charities, low-income people, food banks, and schools with reusable equipment and materials;
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: BakerSignet BT; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">"drop & swap" stations at landfills;
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: BakerSignet BT; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">used equipment stores and salvage yards;
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: BakerSignet BT; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">local and regional material exchanges.

You are probably wondering what 'reuse' means and how it can affect you and your community. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Reuse is very different from recycling. Instead of carefully discarding items that can be recycled to make new products, reuse involves using the items in another way, when their primary use is finished. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">This reuse extends the life cycle of an item, which may eventually be discarded, but in the meantime, is useful and remains in circulation instead of gracing the top of a garbage pile in a landfill. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Here are some great reasons why we should reuse:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">It extends the life cycle of an item and the initial time and effort that went into manufacturing the item.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">It does not take dedicated skill and energy to produce a new item so these skills can be used to manufacture other, more important products.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">It reduces the amount of manpower and pollutants that would be required to make a new item or recycle old material.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">It reduces the materials and chemicals that must be recycled and those that might otherwise damage or impact our environment.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">It costs less than purchasing a new product or disposing of an old one.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">It can generate new business models and business opportunities.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">It supports crucial charitable work and can provide additional money to fund this work.

[] It is a page where they explain us what is reuse and how to do it. Reuse means using something again rather thorowing it. That usually means finding a new use, such as making a jelly jar into a drinking glass, and much more.........

**<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Apple Casual'; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 19pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">To reuse is to use an item more than once. Reusing is using the item again for the same function, and new-life reusing is when it is used for a new function. When you reuse an item is like putting in process a recycling factory, only that without reprocessing, and saving time, money, energy, and resources, it helps even more the environment. Reusing is easy and you just need to make even easier things, rather than just refiling a bottle, or using a paper on the other side. Even children can apply it on their daily life, they just need motivation. **
