What does REUSE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To use something again, either for its original purpose or for a new one.
Reuse is central to environmental thinking, since reusing containers, bags, or materials cuts down on waste and saves the resources needed to make new items. Many everyday habits, such as refilling a water bottle or reusing wrapping paper, count as reuse rather than recycling, because the object keeps its original form. Software engineers also speak of reusing code, meaning a piece written for one program is used again in another without being rewritten. Reuse is often listed alongside reduce and recycle as one of the basic principles of waste management.
