Abstract

Upcycling - is the secondary use of materials and things, creating new functionality for them and increasing their value. A creative approach to a “new reading” of old things. Although upcycling has become most popular in the last couple of decades, it has been around much longer. It’s just that upcycling used to be called “creative reuse.” Before the Industrial Revolution, making new things was expensive, but human labor was practically free, making repairing and remaking things an integral part of people's lives.
