What is upcycling? Upcycling is a process in which disposoable or discarded items are repurposed to make valuable, useful, and new items. So, why bother to upcycle? Well, why recycle when you can upcycle? Although recycling is sometimes a better option, it is not always the case. For instance, more energy and resources are used in recycling a paper bag than making one, which is why upcycling may be the best choice to reduce your carbon imprint.

Think big and green. We, as creative individuals created usable and useful items from the things around us, so we must have a solution for upcycling them.
