You have some good points bot about "hoarding" for future use and the virtue of continued use. I do however enjoy making "new" out of old clothes that are not suitable for hand e down or god will donations

I don't know if it is actually the case, but in my mind I have divided up reusing, upcycling and recycling in the following way – reusing is when you don't fundamentally change anything about the item. Upcycling is when the item is still recognisable but you have changed something fundamental about it so that it couldn't easily be used as what it was previously and recycling is when you completely destroy the original item and use the material for something 'new'.
