Do all Reuse Sector Organizations focus on reducing waste?
No. In fact, the core missions of many reuse organizations have little to do with their resulting environmental benefits. In some cases, the reuse operations can help these organizations with their social missions; such as feeding the homeless, providing essential supplies to poor mothers, providing books to school children, and resources to nonprofit arts organizations. And in other cases these operations serve as a source of revenue to fund other social service operations, such as a thrift store whose profits support people living with AIDS, or a bridal shop that provides funds for a charter school.
