when "RE" is used as a prefix it has two meanings, the first is "again" and the other one is "backward".

The first meaning indicates an event that is recurring, which means over and over again.

here your case is also of recurring. when we say the word "recycle" we tend to mean to reuse that substance.

the word "post" means "after". post-consumer means discarded by the user.
