ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH UPCYCLING?

The literal translation of the word upcycling is “to recycle from above” and was born in the 90s. Very much in vogue these days, there isn't a sector in which you can't find upcycling: decoration, clothing, industry, jewelry and even cooking!

Upcycling is the art of transforming a product that has already had one or more lives into a new element, sometimes diverted from its original use, destined for a second life. This extends the product's lifespan, avoids the use of new raw materials, saves production energy and reduces waste.

The general awareness that we live on an Earth with exhaustible resources has also led to changes in the way we consume and buy. Protecting the environment therefore inevitably involves reducing waste and using virgin raw materials, as well as reusing and recycling used products for both professionals and private individuals.

So it's only natural that Containers Service should be involved in upcycling, an obvious link in the company's value chain and a complement to our already highly reuse-oriented range.
