Recycling

Recycling can be a good thing, but it usually entails the downgrading of the material being recycled. The best form of recycling is up-cycling, or reusing the original object in a similar way, or something close to it to become a better product or give it a higher environmental value. An example of this is of course a glass bottle being reused as a water bottle. It can also be used for storing things that need a tight seal, like jam.
