    you know those little dots on the bottom of glass bottles? they shave one off every time it’s recycled. whether it goes back to the original manufacturer or not, idk. but you can occasionally get recycled bottles with your drink.

      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.
