Upcycling

Upcycling is defined as using every aspect of waste as value.

Typically a piece of waste can be seen as two things: the material it’s made from and the shape it is in. For example a crisp bag is made from plastic and is in the form of a bag. If one were to upcycle a crisp bag one would be leveraging both aspects and not destroying any part of it. While if one were to melt a crisp bag into a plastic product it would be considered recycling vs. upcycling.
