Upcycling

What is Upcycling?

Upcycling is taking a product and giving it a second life, which can be of higher quality or value than the original. Also known as creative reuse, the process of upcycling is becoming more popular than ever.

Almost any item can be upcycled and it’s a lot easier than you may think. Could you use food tins as plant pots, plastic bottles to make a hanging garden, and old T-shirts as dishcloths? On a larger scale, there are very few limitations to how to upcycle furniture, as broken pieces can be used in newer pieces of furniture, or the entire piece can be modified into a more functional set for your home.

With endless opportunities and masses of ideas and guidance out there, now’s the time to get creative and help save our natural world!
