The term Reuse is defined within the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC as any operation by which products or components that are not waste are used again for the same purpose for which they were conceived[1].
The UK's 'right to repair' law, Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information Regulations 2021, came into force in July 2021 and mandated manufacturers to make parts available for up to 10 years for specific large household appliances for up to 10 years after a product is discontinued. The intention was to support the repair and reuse of these appliances.
Given its application to waste; Re-use is also a ‘waste destination’ description that appears in WasteDataFlow.
Waste Collection Authorities or Waste Disposal Authorities will select this option from a drop down list within WasteDataFlow if any items or materials collected by the Waste Collection Authorities (either kerbside or via their 'Bulky Waste' or 'Too Big for the Bin' Collections) or at Household Waste Recycling Centres can be directly re-used else where such as Clothing and Textiles, bicycles, items of furniture etc.
