Entropy always increases :(.
One way of looking at it is all energy wants to be waste heat, and all life and machinery is a system of toll bridges, extracting useful work from the energy on the way to it's final destination.
Once the energy arives, it has no desire to go anywhere so toll bridges don't turn a profit.
It is difficult to reuse heat energy once it is in the surroundings because heat naturally tends to dissipate by spreading out and becoming less concentrated. This makes it challenging to recapture and concentrate the dispersed heat energy for practical use. Additionally, the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that heat transfer will always move from a hot body to a cold body, leading to a further loss of heat energy during attempts to reuse it.
The temperature of an object will not continuously increase because it will reach a point where the rate of energy absorption from the surroundings is balanced by the rate of energy loss through radiation, conduction, or convection. Once this equilibrium is reached, the object's temperature will remain stable rather than continuously rising.
The wasted energy transfers of a kettle include heat loss to the surroundings due to poor insulation, energy used to maintain the water temperature once it has reached boiling point, and energy dissipated through the kettle's electrical components such as the heating element. These factors contribute to inefficiencies in the heating process and result in wasted energy.
Latent heat
Thermal energy is useful energy. However, thermal energy is usually just heat, and not very hot heat at that. And heat, unless hot enough to boil water is a bit difficult to move and to convert into other kinds of energy. You can't run an electric motor directly off thermal energy for instance. But if you live somewhere where homes needs to be heated as opposed to cooled then thermal energy most certainly can come in handy.

No, you cannot put out and reuse a Duraflame log once it has been lit.
Yes, you can reuse coffee grounds more than once by brewing them again to make a weaker but still flavorful cup of coffee.
The most popular and common reuse of old railroad rights of way is for bike paths.
no they can only be used once
Absolutely not! No u cant reuse a preganancy test
No, once a DVD-R is burned (or even partly burned) there is no way to 'unburn' it for reuse.
No it can not be reused once it's used that's it.
No. Membership cards can only be used once!

Yes, it is possible to reuse coffee grounds more than once by brewing a second batch of coffee with them. However, the flavor and strength of the coffee may be diminished with each subsequent use.
Use once only, there is no quality in used tea leaves
