Reuse
Reuse sits right in the middle of the Waste Hierachy. At the very heart of reuse is a single key principle; we need to prolong the life of everything by using things over and over again.
There are 2 aspects to reuse;
let go of anything you no longer use so other people can make use of it; you can sell it, you can lend it or you can give it away
when you need something aim to borrow or hire before choosing to purchase
