Upcyclart
A Bottom-Up Approach to Youth Entrepreneurship for Circular Economy
Upcycling is the process of creatively transforming discarded materials into new, valuable products, thereby extending their lifecycle and reducing waste. Unlike recycling, which often breaks materials down into their raw forms, upcycling preserves and enhances the original items, adding artistic and functional value. This practice not only mitigates environmental impact by diverting waste from landfills but also fosters innovation and sustainability.
"Upcycling transforms the ordinary into extraordinary, showcasing the beauty of repurposed materials."
What we do
The Upcyclart project is an international initiative that brings together youth workers, art and environmental organisations to empower young people to explore upcycling as a sustainable business opportunity.
