THEME: "Exploring the Novel Advances in Recycling and Waste Management"
Upcycling is the process of transforming waste materials or
unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality or
environmental value. Unlike traditional recycling, which breaks down materials
into raw forms, upcycling adds value by creatively repurposing them. This
practice reduces waste, conserves resources, and often leads to unique and
innovative designs. Upcycling encourages sustainability by giving new life to
discarded items and promoting a circular economy mindset. It has gained popularity
as a way to reduce environmental impact and foster creativity in product design
and manufacturing.
