Sustainability and solidarity towards local communities in England Creating social value with second-hand items The aim of reuse shops is to give a second life to items that arrive at recycling centres and are still useful, so that they can avoid waste and create social value, contributing to reducing carbon emissions. These establishments allocate their income to people with limited resources, in unfavourable situations.
