Reuse

By reusing materials, we can:

• protect the environment
• save money
• support local communities
• prevent unnecessary waste

Reuse means using, upcycling or repurposing an item.

It is different to recycling, which means breaking down used items to make raw materials for manufacturing.

We support the reuse of lots of pre-loved household items through our 'reuse360' shops, reuse hub and other reuse projects.
