                              2. reuse
                                1. take an existing orduct that has become waste, and use the materials or parts for another purpose, without procesing it: example, bottle.

                                  1. finding waysto create energy from waste that has been disposed of. modern technology allows us to treat waste using thermal and non thermal processes to product heat, oil or electrcity
