A simple and recognised definition of upcycling is, as we
have seen; recycling but with added value. Where products cannot be recycled,
upcycling can usually step in...

The defintion was originally created by William Donaugh and
Micheal Braungart who term upcycling as ‘the process of converting an
industrial nutrient into something of similar of greater value.’ (Donaugh and
Braungart, 2002) In their book, Cradle to Cradle, Donaugh and Braungart envision a sustainable design future where they consider ‘remaking the way we
make things’.
Good to see your sustainability theme continuing throughout all your posts.
