There are two possibilities:

recyclable. This runs periodically but you can also run it manually if
you like.
When you refer to save sets of a lower level, do you mean clones? If so, and
the clone has a retention period that is much longer than the original save
set, then would the only way to reuse the tape be to manually recycle it?
No I don't mean clones. I am talking about full/numbered
levels/incremental backups. An incremental backup or a level backup will
always depend on a full backup, and optionally also on other levels in
between. A full backup cannot expire until all later lower level backups
of that save set have also expired.
