What is the difference between recyclable and reusable?

Reusable only means that you can reuse it over again.  It does not mean that it is recycled or recyclable.  Recyclable means that it can be re-processed to create new products, which is only possible if there is a recycling facility that will actually accept and re-process the item.  Otherwise, it will still end up in our landfill.
