scalvage
scavenge + salvage-- scalvage. To find items meant for both purposes! Kind of a "fregan" concept but even my capitalistic father engaged in this.
For many years my dad would scalvage all kinds of craft materials at industrial sites near our house: carpet samples, wooden moulding parts, pieces of formica, vinyl samples. He would also find old chairs that were cast away and fix them up.... so I began to do that too. You can make craft products and even furniture (or rescued furniture) from your findings!

Look at that chair at the curb; it's missing one leg but otherwise looks nice. Let's scalvage it for parts.

The new use is different and of better quality (substantively different) than the item's original use or purpose, i.e., a chair that becomes shelving or artwork, a pallet that becomes a gate or fence.
