Recycle, reuse, reduce, repurpose, upcycle; it’s hard to keep up with all of the green terms these days. With landfill waste at an all time high, upcycling -or creative reuse – is essential. Upcycling involves taking materials or products that are no longer wanted or needed and, through creativity, transforming them into works of art or something useful and beautiful. Upcycling has seen a resurgence in recent years as we become acutely aware of the limit of our resources and the impact we have on the earth as a species.
