THE UPCYCL: Turning waste materials into good business
Underutilised waste materials have the potential to be both a sustainable and a financial advantage when reworked into new products. THE UPCYCL accelerates the circular economy by matching and handling industrial waste materials between the industries that produce it and the companies that can use it. Doing so reduces the amount of material wasted and the amount of virgin material spent.
Turning waste materials into good business
THE UPCYCL creates industrial waste symbioses by facilitating partnerships between industrial production companies with continuous waste flows and designers, architects, and developers looking for sustainable materials for their designs and design processes.
THE UPCYCL deals in New Waste, meaning waste that is continuous, voluminous, and primarily virgin materials, such as cut-offs or materials with production errors. New Waste materials have, through THE UPCYCL, found their way into the market in, among other projects, the iconic FM630 stool, originally designed by legendary Danish architecture firm Friis & Moltke, re-released with a circular update by Anno Studio in 2022.
About THE UPCYCL
THE UPCYCL is a B2B materials exchange platform that converts waste from one company into valuable resources for another. The platform fosters a community where industrial waste materials are shared and circulated throughout various production and development stages. What sets THE UPCYCL apart is its focus on materials sourced from large, continuous waste streams,ensuring a stable and consistent supply of resources. These materials can be directly recycled or upcycled, maximising the value of existing resources and enabling companies to adopt a circular supply chain.
