Upcycled materials are items that have been repurposed or transformed into new products, extending their life and reducing waste. This process often involves taking discarded or unused materials, such as old furniture, clothing, or plastic bottles, and creatively modifying them to create something functional or artistic. The goal of upcycling is to minimize environmental impact by reducing the need for new resources and decreasing landfill waste. Many artisans and businesses focus on using upcycled materials to promote sustainability and encourage a circular economy, where products are reused and recycled rather than thrown away.
