Upcycling - To reuse (discarded objects or material) in such a
way as to create a product of higher quality or value than the original.
The old adage ‘one person’s trash is another person’s treasure’
is the notion behind upcycling. Upcycling is used on a range of products including
jewelry, furniture and fashion items, such as making bracelets from old flip
flops, lamps from blenders, and turning skateboards into furniture such as
chairs and bookcases. Actually, the creative possibilities of upcycling are countless.
Think Before You Throw
You can join the upcycle solution by partnering with one of the leaders in the industry. TerraCycle works with more than 100 major brands in the U.S. and 22 countries overseas to collect used packaging and products that would otherwise be destined for landfills.
