Upcycling is a form of waste management and sustainable design that involves repurposing waste materials and turning them into new products of higher quality or value than the original materials. This can include creating new products from old clothing, furniture, electronics, and other items that would otherwise be discarded. The goal of upcycling is to reduce waste and conserve resources by giving new life to old materials. It is similar to recycling, but focuses on creating new products that have a higher value or purpose than the original waste materials.
