Abstract
A processing system and apparatus for sorting and routing reusable mail pieces is shown. Each mail piece bears an identifier, which is stored in a database with the current intended destination of the mail piece to simplify subsequent sorting and routing operations. An envelope is shown that is suited for use in such a system. Computer readable media are shown that are executable to control such a system.
