The Value of Reusing and Restoring items

these practices were already common in the Middle Ages: old rags were exchanged for other goods and typically used until they were completely worn out. Disposal was almost unheard of.

Today, in our throwaway society, many products are seen as temporary and are quickly discarded often just because they are no longer in fashion.”

But reusing the original material isn’t the only thing that holds value. Restoring an item using other or similar materials can be just as important. For example, repairing a piece of jewelry so it can be worn again. It may no longer be in its original state, but this new version might make it even more desirable, unique, and beautiful than it was before.
