 Upcycling is the creative process of transforming old, used, or discarded materials into
something new, innovative, and of higher quality or value. It involves repurposing items in a
way that gives them a new purpose or function, often with the goal of reducing waste and
promoting sustainability.

Recycling practices

1. Rinse out food and beverage containers before recycling them to prevent contamination and
ensure they can be properly processed.
2. Learn about local recycling guidelines and regulations to understand which materials are
accepted for recycling in your area.
3. Reduce waste by opting for products with minimal or recyclable packaging and choosing
reusable items over single-use items whenever possible.
4. Support recycling initiatives in your community by participating in collection events, donating
items to recycling centers, and encouraging others to recycle responsibly.
