To "put to good use" is to "utilize" or "employ" something. Depending on the exact usage of the phrase, you could also use "corporate-speak" and say that an item has been "repurposed".

I don't think there is an exact parallel phrase that implies both an items "use" as well as how "good" it was for that purpose. 'Utilize' compares most because the word means that the item was at least useful for the task in question.
