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.
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

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
