Why Are We Called Upcycle4Better
Recycling comprises three pathways to resource recovery and reuse: The pinnacle of recycling is upcycling.
Upcycling - to better value
Recycling - to retain value
Down cycling - to lower value
​
All three pathways recycle materials to reuse resources, divert them from landfills and incineration, and have their part in resource recovery.
​
Upcycle4better advocates for best practices in the three pathways for recycling for real action that changes behaviours to impact climate change - To promote awareness, circular economy and implementation of United Nations SGD GOALS.
​
Upcycle4better is a supporter and partner organisation for recycling advocacy, collection, manufacturing, and sale of textiles.
