I suppose in this case, you would call it "reused"?
They are probably cleaned with boiling water and some chemicals before being refilled.
By "recycling", I would normally think of melting and reforming.
i mean if we're splitting hairs, yeah. here reuse is typically talked about as the individual reusing, recycling as industry reusing/processing.
Yeah, that's another way it makes sense.
No way either word is going to match this case with both definitions.
