What is Upcycling? • Upcyclingis the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.
What can be upcycled? • Household items and clothes are commonly used in upcycling projects. The ‘worn’ quality of these items becomes a feature of the upcycled product, rather than being seen as a flaw.
