Reuse is a means to prevent solid waste from entering the landfill, improve our communities, and increase the material. Reducing, reusing and recycling waste helps save landfill space by keeping useful materials out. The amount of energy and natural resources needed to produce or collect the raw materials and manufacture the product are reduced.  Some examples of trying recycle is reusing containers at home, school or anywhere or buy beverages in returnable containers. Overall, where as you would reuse a product for its original purpose in a new place or way, to repurpose would be to find a new purpose for an already existing material.
