I often see "recycled" or similar as a signal for more expensive.

That's just because of this new wave of eco-virtue-signaling that's become popular in the past few years. Before that, recycled meant lower quality and cheaper.

See also: "vegan butter" or "plant-based butter" instead of "hydrogenated vegetable oil".

While I get your point, some new plants butters don’t contained hydrogenated oils. See my favorite brand, Flora:
