That's reusing, not recycling.
Remember, recycling is the last of the 3 Rs. You should reduce or reuse first.

The third one is ECYCE
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.
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
No, the cycle doesn't close if you turn one product into a different one. Recycling is melting one bottle and turning into a new bottle. If you turn one product into a lower quality one, it's downcycling. Unless you are very proud of what you did, than it's 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

I wish my posts could be as cool as Bones' posts!
