Reusing is better than recycle because:
i] During recycle, plastic waste needs to be processed to form a different material.
ii] During processing, more natural resources might be involved and it may result in pollution of the environment. If the material is reused, it saves energy and reduces pollution.
iii] Reuse reduces environmental pollution by reducing waste. Also, it will reduce the demand and hence production of plastic articles.
iv] Reuse saves cost as same material is used again without any processing.
