Recycling? Or Upcycling
Recycling and upcycling are both methods of reusing materials, but they are different concepts.

Recycling involves breaking down material and processing it into new raw materials to be used in manufacturing new products. This process can result in a loss of quality or purity of the materials, depending on the type of recycling and the materials being recycled.

Upcycling, on the other hand, involves taking a material that would otherwise be considered waste and transforming it into a new product of higher quality or value. This process can include repurposing, refurbishing, or reimagining a material to give it new life without losing any of its original quality or value.

In summary, recycling focus on reducing the impact of waste on the environment by reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfill and by conserving natural resources. Upcycling, instead focus on giving new life to materials by repurposing them into new products, it adds value to the materials, and it can be more sustainable than recycling.
