That's reusing, not recycling.
Remember, recycling is the last of the 3 Rs. You should reduce or reuse first.
Is that true? I thought recycling was giving new purpose to an old object. Reuse to me implies another person using the object but in the same way it was originally intended.
No, that's reusing. Recycling is breaking down the product into materials so it can be used to make new stuff.
The cycle in recycle means the production cycle.
sad Krebs cycle face
Given that this is changing the product itself, it's more repurposing than reusing, which I'd say fits between reuse and recycle.
It works better if you think about the raw materials rather than the whole product;
Reduce the amount of plastic you use
Reuse the plastic you already have
Recycle the plastic you can't use anymore
I guess it would technically be upcycling
What you’re describing is just giving/loaning/borrowing which don’t start with R but still contribute to a moneyless value economy which is still great for improving the efficient sharing of the resource pool toward desirable ends
Reparing is the first one, idk where reduce comes into the saying.
Maybe we need to include a 4th R?
I would argue that repair is part of re-use, since you are allowing it to be used again. So would be part of the second r. The first r is reduce, which would boil down to: if you already have one, don't buy another. It's more effective to not need the resources in the first place.
No it’s not, the full ladder is basically (and even legally here in NL rvo.nl )
But the saying is often used as “Repair, Reuse, Recycle” in the right to repair programs.
Might be a regional thing
