Reuse is often confused with recycling, but they are really quite different and it could be said that
reuse is more beneficial.

Whilst recycling is doing away with a product and making it into something else, reuse is simply changing the way we use it and prolonging the life of a particular item.

You can reuse by purchasing durable goods, buying and selling in the used marketplace, borrowing or renting.

Some of the advantages of reusing products include:

* Reuse keeps goods and materials out of the waste stream

* Reuse creates less air and water pollution than making a new item or recycling

* Reuse results in less hazardous waste

* Reuse saves money in purchases and disposal costs

* Reuse creates an affordable supply of goods that are often of excellent quality.
