The UpIt Fest is a festival that promotes and encourages upcycling. Join us to buy upcycled products and to learn more about the upcycling movement. #upcycleit
What is upcycling? Upcycling is when you reuse discarded objects or materials in such a way as to create a product of high quality or value. Recycling and upcycling both reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, but upcycling transforms the same waste into products.
Happy #GlobalRecyclingDay!
Cheers to all of the #recyclingheroes who are on a mission and are going above and beyond to make recycling the normal way and to make waste a thing of the past.
There are many environmental benefits of upcycling! Upcycling allows us to minimize the volume of discarded materials and waste being sent to landfill each year. It also reduces the need for production using new or raw materials which means a reduction in pollution.
One of the benefits of up-cycling is: LESS MATERIAL IN THE LANDFILL! Unfortunately we’ve become so used to things being mass manufactured and made in a heartbeat that we buy things as quickly as we throw things away. But we can change this habit and start to #upcycle instead.
