What is the definition of 'Reuse' in the context of the 3 R's?

• Reuse refers to the practice of using an item more than once in its original form, rather than disposing of it after a single use. In the context of the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), it emphasizes the importance of finding ways to use products again to minimize waste.

• Reuse means recycling materials to create new products.

• Reuse involves reducing the amount of waste produced by using fewer resources.

• Reuse is the process of breaking down products to their raw materials for new manufacturing.

Reusing items is important because it helps to:

• Reduce waste and conserve resources

• Increase waste and deplete resources

• Have no impact on the environment

• Make items more expensive
