To quote Cara Smusiak in her post about upcycling in Naturally Savvy, Upcycling is
"taking something that you would otherwise throw out and finding a way to make it into something else."She explains further the difference between recycling and upcycling: "upcycling maintains or improves the quality of the materials" while recycling downgrades the materials that are reused.
There are a myriad of ways to upcycle different sorts of "waste". It's all up to your imagination and creativity to reuse something that could potentially have added to to the landfills! To get you started, here is a list of 100 Amazing Upcycling Ideas you could use.
