Why are upcycling and reusing important?
Nothing that can be recycled should be going into landfill. By recycling, reusing and upcycling we can save an estimated 17kg per month (200kg per year) of C02 a month. Recycle everything you can. Anything made from metal, wood, most plastics, paper and cardboard, and electronic e-waste are all likely to have a recycling option.
We have searched the web for easy DIY’s and upcycling projects to save you time and energy, that you can invest into you new project. Check out our 3 favourite projects for this week!
