Reuse is an old business with a new perspective!
The sustained interest and growth of the reuse
industry derives in large measure from the solid waste reduction heirarchy: reduce, reuse, recycle. Reuse is recognized as being distinct from recycling, both in doctrine, and in the handling of the materials this unique
industry diverts from the waste stream.
Recyclers have successfully kept materials out of the waste stream by “processing” their colleced goods into what they once were or into additions for other materials,
while reusers, with little or no reprocessing, keep materials out of the waste stream by passing the goods they collect on to other users.
