As Mr. Beitler noted, the challenge is to show industry how reuse saves money by reducing their expenses.  In the late 1980's I had a project where we quantified waste cutting oil discharge at a manufacturing plant, estimated recovery and reuse options , and then estimated the savings in reduced cost in the purchase of new oils and reduced permit violations.  By showing the value of reuse in $, the company implemented the plan.  Showing a company how reuse can help their bottom line is the best form of persuasion for a company.
