<p>basic definition + some considerations</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Reuse&#039;&#039;&#039; is often more ecological then [[recycling]] or [[waste disposal]]. Reuse is applicable only to [[durable good]]s, not [[consumable good]]s and is often referred to as [[2nd hand]].<br /> <br /> There are businesses focused &#039;&#039;only on reused goods&#039;&#039; and businesses that accept used products as &#039;&#039;trade-in&#039;&#039; that will give you a discount for a partially used up [[product]]. It&#039;s up to the [[consumer]] to inquire about what will happen to a trade-in product. Some may be sold on, some may be [[recycling|recycled]] and some may wind up in a trash pile<br /> <br /> In the [[2nd hand]] business there are many kinds of operatives. Some have skilled [[employee]]s that do maintenance on the reusable products and may even give a &#039;&#039;limited warranty&#039;&#039; for the product. Others might just give inaccurate information on the quality and durability of the goods.<br /> <br /> When considering reusing a product the [[consumer]] must remember that the protection of law often differs from that in purchasing unused products.<br /> <br /> One should remember that there are hazards in reuse such as electrical devices that have been modified improperly which may cause electrical fires or other hazards.</div>
