Upcycling transforms materials that would otherwise be destroyed or taken to land ll into new quality products of higher

value and environmental purpose. Reusing waste and not destroying it takes far less energy compared to breaking it down

to be remade into something new or taking it to our ever-increasing land ll sites across the world.

How is upcycling di erent from recycling?

Upcycling turns waste products into a material or product that is of a higher quality and into something that will be used

again rather than being thrown away and being put into land ll, compared to recycling which turns waste into another

reusable material or product. When you recycle an item, it is sorted into product type and goes back into production to be

transformed into a new and di erent item.

The bene ts of upcycling can’t be played down as it reduces the amount of waste that we discard and the need to produce

new or raw materials again to replace it, resulting in a reduction in air pollution, water pollution, land ll use and

greenhouse gas emissions.

What are the bene ts of upcycling?

Conserves the environment – it reduces CO2 emissions by using old materials instead of making new ones (for every

ton of discarded textiles used again, 20 tons of CO2 is prevented from entering the atmosphere)

Reduces the amount of waste that goes to land lls

Conserves limited resources

Reduces the cost of reproduction to replace items that have gone to land ll

Supports local industries and businesses

Encourages creativity and innovation
