The reuse activities occurring in NYC are reported, accounting for the quantities of reuse of various products, such as furniture, appliances and automobile accessories, amongst others. The quantities of products are translated to reuse mass and net CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    -eq emissions saved as a consequence of reuse. This quantitative assessment employs the Reuse Impact Calculator (RIC), based on the Waste Reduction Model (WARM). The RIC is a novel calculator used to quantitatively assess the environmental impact of material reuse. It uses the information about the material to be reused from the WARM database and estimates the emissions and energy savings based on the product\u2019s final destination, that is, reuse, landfill, recycle or composting. A close monitoring of reuse activities in NYC shows 45 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>\n                    kg of reuse occurring for different products that would otherwise be directed to landfills. The net emissions reduced annually by reuse is approximately 122 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>\n                    kg of CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    -eq. This article compares the NYC reuse activities with that occurring in some select cities of the world. It is shown that the maximum recycle potential is saturated at 66%, and only auxiliary strategies like reuse can achieve the zero waste to landfill ambitions. Furthermore, this work discusses the role of reuse in the circular economy, wherein the resource utilization is maximized by increasing the shelf life of the product, and thereby enabling a maximum reuse potential.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0734242x20919496","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,6]],"date-time":"2020-05-06T07:40:33Z","timestamp":1588750833000},"page":"734-744","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Approaching a zero-waste strategy by reuse in New York City: Challenges and potential"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8381-4568","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Lugo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, The City College of New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2946-7192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Snehesh Shivananda","family":"Ail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, The City College of New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco J","family":"Castaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, The City College of New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0734242X20919496","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.37190\/epe150304"},{"key":"bibr2-0734242X20919496","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.resconrec.2007.09.005"},{"key":"bibr3-0734242X20919496","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15344\/2456-351X\/2018\/155"},{"key":"bibr4-0734242X20919496","volume-title":"2017 Infrastructure Report Card","author":"ASCE","year":"2017"},{"key":"bibr5-0734242X20919496","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wasman.2011.10.023"},{"key":"bibr6-0734242X20919496","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wasman.2012.07.001"},{"key":"bibr7-0734242X20919496","unstructured":"Bloomberg MR, Holloway C, Weinstein E (2011) Mayor\u2019s management report fiscal 2011.
