🤔 

 Maybe it means it started as an egg carton and remained an egg carton? 

 re...used? 

 I think there's a difference when a certain material is recycled vs reclaimed but it depends on the context of the material. I don't understand them all to be honest. I don't think most people care either lol 

 but there is a legal difference and given the shadiness of the recycling verbiage/industry, I got curious  

 You have me curious as well. The deeper you dig, the darker the shade. 

 I'm sure we will eventually find some journalist that commited the most bizarre suicide right before publishing a story that would expose the corruption in the recycling industry 🤣 

 It means they stole it from someone else's trash can.  

 Probably the same loophole as caged vs range free vs pasture raised.

Gotta be a freaking detective to figure out the difference.
