Reuse:  \rē-yōōz´\ (transitive verb):   Taking a material, and using it again, in it's current state, without significantly altering it through processing to make "new" again.  Recycling requires grinding, melting, reforming, and other processes to use the product again, reuse does not. 
  

Each day, along with trash, trucks collect reusable items such as paper, scraps of plastic and wood, remnants of telephone wire, mat board and fabric.  While the local architecture firm might not have need for samples they didn't choose, a classroom could use the fabric, wood or tile for an arts project.   ReCREATE collects clean usable waste / manufacturer byproducts and uses it for environmental lessons, art education and creative expression.
