...ever heard of it? Neither had I until a week or so ago. I'd been doing it a long time, just called it something different.
Upcycling: the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.
The goal of upcycling is to prevent wasting potentially useful materials by making use of existing ones...in other words repurposing. Take something that in its current form has no use to you any longer and find a way to change it, restructure it, or modifiy it . Why fill up your garage can or spend money unless you have to...make something that fits your needs.
Upcycling is a chance to get your creative jucies flowing, before thowing something out, take a long hard look at it and think...what can I do with this, how can I reuse all or part of it, what can be done with it so it better fits my needs.
