UPCYCLING
AND RECYCLING
UPCYCLING
the use of waste materials, otherwise destined for landfill
or disposal, to create new objects that are often completely
different to the original good
(a widespread practice in fashion:
textile fibers are obtained from recycled plastic)
RECYCLING
the transformation of the by-products of an object into
a new good to be used
(such as glass bottles processed into new glass bottles)
