“Reuse is better than recycling of materials”. Give reason to justify this statement.

The ‘reuse’ strategy is better than ‘recycling’ because even the process of recycling uses large amount of energy and money. In the reuse strategy, we can preserve energy. For instance: plastic bottles in which we buy various foods items like jam and pickle can be used for storing things in the kitchen. Whereas, if we send the discarded plastic bottles for recycling to the industry, we will be using energy sources for the recycling process.
