Why just Recycle let us also Upcycle!

 


Oh, just another of the many new words that sound cool but mean almost nothing”. Reduce, reuse, recycle, repeat… but now say hello to upcycling.

So well, if I recycle, why do I need to upcycle?

The distinction between recycling and upcycling really makes sense and invites us to investigate the very sense of terms such as product design and sustainability. The manufacturing revolution has changed the way we turn wasted materials into amazing new stuff! While both recycling and upcycling reduces the amount of junk that goes to our landfills, upcycling turns that same waste into a product of a higher quality–while recycling slightly decreases the quality of certain materials. Believe it or not, for every ton of tossed plastic bottles that get upcycled, tons of CO2 is prevented from entering the atmosphere! Upcycling is more about less use of water, energy, and raw materials to create something new than traditional production.

Only a few decades ago, especially in rural culture, what we call now upcycling was done commonly, for example taking the legs of a broken chair and joining them to other wood pieces to make a coffee table, thus creating objects maybe bizarre, yet absolutely functional. It is called “100 Chairs in 100 Days and its 100 Ways”

Here are a couple of benefits of ensuring complete data destruction: Prevent Data Leaks Keep P
