What is Upcycling?
Upcycling generally refers to the transformation of waste materials
into something useful or valuable and is a useful concept that can be
applied not only to the waste design industry but also to waste
recycling and resource circulation. Upcycling is the key concept for
improving the value of waste by redefining the concept as “the
recycling of waste materials and discarded products in ways that
enhance their value.” (Yi et al., 2019)
