As well as re-use, re-cycle, re-make, recycle and precycle, the latest buzz-word is upcycle.
Nowadays it’s not enough to think you are saving the planet by recycling. There are more ways in which you can reduce the planet’s carbon footprint. Let's try to cut down by employing all of these methods.
Precycling for example is the practice of reducing waste by attempting to avoid bringing into the home or business, items which will generate waste.
Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products and avoid products going into landfil at all.
