The process of reusing starts with the assumption that the used materials that flow through our lives can be a resource rather than refuse. Some ways to reuse of materials at home can be to reupholstered or slipcovered the old, outdated furniture, sheets of paper that have been used on only one side can be used for note-taking or rough drafts, old towels and sheets can be cut in small pieces and used for dust cloths, packing materials, such as polystyrene, plastic quilting, and similar materials, can be saved and reused again for packing.
