Reuses

Reuses is the SiteAtlas directory for reuse, repair, recycling and waste-related organisations.

Every year, huge amounts of useful material are thrown away, passed on, repaired, resold, recycled or repurposed. Reuses is designed to help make that world more visible.

The site brings together organisations involved in the reuse economy — from charity shops, furniture reuse projects and repair services to recycling companies, waste specialists and organisations helping products, materials and resources find a second life.

Why Reuses exists

Many directories are static. They list a name, an address and perhaps a website link, but they do not show how an organisation changes over time.

Reuses works differently.

Using SiteAtlas screenshot technology, Reuses can record website snapshots for organisations in the reuse and recycling sector. These screenshots help show what each organisation does, how it presents itself, and how its services develop.

That makes Reuses more than a simple list of links. It becomes a visual record of a sector that is constantly changing.

What Reuses covers

Reuses is intended to include organisations connected with:

  • reuse and second-hand goods
  • furniture reuse
  • clothing reuse
  • charity retail
  • repair services
  • recycling
  • waste management
  • salvage and reclamation
  • circular economy projects
  • environmental services

The aim is not just to list companies, but to help people discover the different ways useful items and materials can be kept in circulation.

Part of the SiteAtlas family

Reuses is one of the specialist directories powered by SiteAtlas.

SiteAtlas captures website screenshots and uses them to build visual directories and website histories. Each SiteAtlas project focuses on a different subject area, so that visitors are not faced with one huge mixed directory covering unrelated sectors.

Reuses focuses on the reuse, recycling and waste sector. Other SiteAtlas sites cover property, construction, international realty, hospitality, destinations and other areas.

Together, they form a family of visual directories built around the same idea:

websites evolve — SiteAtlas captures the changes.
