Reasons To Disagree
Re-use has sanitary implications, food poisoning, dangerous chemicals, disease etc. Recycling ensures sanitation.
Reuse great but recycling is still better than throw away/waste so I say reuse and recycle to limit waste.
Possibly - obviously you have to analyse the costs/benefits.

Reasons To Agree
Simply because reuse involves no added input of energy to re-manufacture and distribute, it obviously is better for the environment, provided items being re-used are used in a manner that is fit for the purpose (ie don't re-use newspaper in the toilet wher it clogs the sewers) Don't re-use containers that have contained toxic or dangerous chemicals. That container that had the Roundup shouldn't be re-used as a drink bottle!
Nothing to dispute there, it is a statement of scientific fact. Pity that reuse is so inappropriate in many cases.
Yes, however, as indicated above, it would need to be accompanied by education about appropriate re-use situations.
