In a simple term Upcycling is re-using your rubbish! Make it a piece of clothing, an accessories- a great example of this is plastic bottle and making it earrings or any jewellery. This is the best example of reusing junk for fashion!
There’s many good ideas to help with re using your rubbish, may that be something small such as bottle caps, buttons and tins! using tins as a flower pot or even to grow fruit or vegetables is a very good environmentally friendly way. Glass bottles can be used as candle holders, fairy lights decoration, for people who like to have the odd glass of vodka a night its a very good way to make these tings as well as more. With boxes you can use them and even collect to make into some make shift mini tables.
For Recycling you can use for anything you cant upcycle. Its a lot easier when needing to get rid of waste that isn’t needed and will help you not stock waste that isn’t needed / cant be modified.
