Downcycling and Upcycling, which is one is more efficient and when?

184 views

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

Upcycling is making something “better” out of trash, its increasing the quality.

A lot of recycling is actualy downcycling, so making worse stuff out of it. Like old paper trash can not be used to make new printing paper but only toilet paper.

Ofc this value is subjective, so what someone thinks is upcycling might be trash for other people.
