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.
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
sad Krebs cycle face
Reparing is the first one, idk where reduce comes into the saying.
Maybe we need to include a 4th R?

Gonna love those microplastics leeching in over time as well.
And microplastics
I thought this might have been a post from @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world for a hot second.
I wish my posts could be as cool as Bones’ posts!

Microplastics.
Good morning, I choose punctuation.
Redneck engineering.
Oooh, mixer tap! But microplastics… but mixer tap!
I love everyone commenting about this will add microplastics to your water. We are already full of them.
Someone’s mouth used to touch that.
