second-life
Another go around
Second-life describes something given renewed purpose or use after its original function ends.
A second-life battery from an electric vehicle powers a home energy system.
Second-life materials get repurposed rather than discarded.
The term appears frequently in sustainability contexts, emphasizing reuse over recycling or disposal.
