Question

Reuse of material is considered better than "RECYCLING". Why?

Answer 1

Any item in good condition can be reused. ... Reusing is better than recycling because it saves the energy that comes with having to dismantle and re-manufacture products. It also significantly reduces waste and pollution because it reduces the need for raw materials, saving both forests and water supplies.

Answer 2

Reuse is better than recycling of materials.

The main reason is that recycling being a process in which the material undergoes a process to be made usable again, releases wastes or toxic materials that can harm the environment in a separate way.

The other reason is the recycling process being expensive. Instead of producing wastes and making expenditure, we can reuse materials.

 Thus Reuse is better than Recycling.
