Upcycling, by definition is to take old or waste materials that are useless or unwanted and turn them into something more useful, better quality and of more value than they originally were. To create an improved product from discarded waste.

​

In our consumer driven world we are taught that all products have a shelf life, that once they are worn out they are of no use anymore. This is not the case, and this attitude desperately needs to change. If we have the imagination and creativity to design and produce these products then we have the same capability to repurpose them.

​

As well as upcycling and recycling our waste materials, we should also be looking at the products we are buying in the first place. Purchasing items that are made from reused materials and/or sustainable materials and products that are built to be disassembled and reused and that are energy efficient.

 

Upcycling isn't just a hobby or something that people do as a fun project once in a while, it is a necessity for the planet and feeds into a very important mindset that all of us should adopt.
