Remix to Recycle: An “Environmentalist” Approach to Reusing Works is included in Issue No. 3 (2020, published on 17 January 2021) of Global Conversations: An International Journal in Contemporary Philosophy and Culture (Originally published at: philogc.org/vol-3/ (site no longer active).
As of early 2026, the journal website appears to have been discontinued, which is why I've removed the link to it, replacing it instead with links to the PDF that I have uploaded to my Academia and Research Gate profiles.
