Reusable
Reusable
This involves taking items that might otherwise be considered waste and finding new applications for them, without changing the original form or intent.
plastic, paper, cardboard, metals, and glass get recycled by melting or grinding, after that, it is moulded in another form which makes it reusable. Plastic is also a good source of petrochemicals after recycling.
Reuse preserves the embodied energy originally used in manufacturing an item. Reuse also creates less air and water pollution than recycling.
