I don't think RECYCLE is the right term.
IMPROVED is the right term.
A candidate with a lot of potential that entered Binibining Pilipinas at a wrong time usually lost but were advised to join again so that they will have enough time to prepare and improve themselves. These candidates do join the pageant the following year or some other time and if major improvement is shown, then she has the possibility of winning a crown.
Besides, a lot of countries let other candidates who win a crown join other pageants. A winner of Miss Universe being sent to Miss World or Miss International or Miss Earth. That is literally RECYCLING.
You want an example? What is OLIVIA JORDAN who was Miss World USA 2013 doing at Miss Universe 2015? She is already a representative at Miss World yet they let her win Miss Universe USA 2015.
What is Gabriela Berríos who was Miss Universe 2014 doing at Miss International 2016?
Again, this is what RECYCLING actually means.
In the Philippines, if you win Miss Universe Philippines or any other crown, then you are automatically barred (not disqualified) from joining other pageants unless your national director explicitly allowed the candidate (as with the case of Cory Quirino giving Catriona Gray her blessings if Catriona decided to join Binibining Pilipinas).
