Q

RECYCLING vs UPCYCLING

A

Recycling
destruction of waste to create something new
Examples:

Upcycling
takes waste and creates something new from it in its current state
objects get repurposed to offer a different function entirely
Examples:
turning old clothing into rags, reuse old jars as flowerpots, etc
