Upcycling: More Than Just a Trend
What is upcycling and why should you get in on it
Upcycling is the latest cool thing everyone is sinking their hands into. What it is is instead of simply throwing out an old piece of item, people are pausing to see if they can reinvent it into something new. It basically means turning your trash into treasure, and with that said, almost anything can be upcycled: from clothing, furniture, and other found objects!
Upcycling is not only a great way to keep up with what’s new, but more important, it’s a trend that’s extremely beneficial to the environment. It keeps materials from going into waste in landfills, and reduces the amount of materials required for manufacturing something new.
Other than the reasons above, another great thing about this eco-friendly trend is being able to own something completely unique, and then of course, there’s the satisfaction of making something yourself.
