I’ve been reading alot lately about Recycling because my neighbourhood wants to go “green” etc. Lately Upcycling has also been mentioned alot and i know that Upcycling is more of a direct process than Recycling since i can just do upcycling from home. But which one’s actually better for the environment? Sorry, i hope my question is somewhat clear!
Thank you guys

I understand “upcycling” as finding another use for an item while mostly retaining its present form, such as cleaning out a container to store other things in it or making a flower pot out of it. This is good if the new item really has a practical value and can take the place of another that is purpose built. Often upcycling are art projects without value however.
Recycling involves melting or chopping an object down into one or more of its base materials, which is more technologically involved process. The materials obtained are usually of inferior quality because different kinds can’t be fully separated.
