reusing: to use an item for something different than what it was intended for


Unfortunately it is too expensive to make the same product out of the old material, for example, used office paper converted into new office paper, or used foamed polystyrene into new polystyrene. It is cheaper to produce the new product from raw material. So, recycling of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials (such as cardboard from used paper) instead. Reusing goods looks at ways to extend the life of goods in some


way. The pictures below show some creative ways in which things like bottles, tyres, tin cans, and plastic have been reused.
