Upcycling in Decatur Saving the world through clever ideas THE LOVE CHILD of minimalists and environmentalists, upcycling is taking the world by storm. The term refers to the creative repurposing of waste. It’s the original version of trash to treasure where something destined for the landfill becomes a piece of art, a conversation piece at a party or an outfit. For the conscientious consumer, upcycling is a win-win. The eco-friendly practice prevents items from becoming part of the landfill when they still have life and love in them. It also saves the natural and human resources that would have gone into making a new version. Decatur Living sourced local businesses who incorporate upcycling. Check out some fun finds and clever ideas where the environmental and human benefits of your spending are the cherry on top.
