    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.
