1. Upcycling encourages responsible consumption by selecting short-lived products.

2. Energy saving. Factories make their products from scratch; with recycling some steps may be skipped.

3. Reduces the amount of waste and pollution.

4. Support the global economy. Upcycling creates jobs and businesses.

5. The upcycling helps save petroleum. The oil petroleum is the raw material for making plastic, for that the factories save this non-renewable resource .

Upcycling is taking something old and creating something new. The environmental benefits of upcycling are substantial. Upcycling benefits the environment by reducing the pollutants of air, land, and water in the processing of new goods – as well as preventing additional natural resources from being used. Additionally:
1. Minimize the extraction of natural resources.
2. Reduce landfill waste.
3. Less manufacturing, fewer carbon emissions.
4. Give a new life to your old objects.
5. Supports a circular economy

1. Upcycling saves items from ending up in landfills which means that the environment can be cleaner.
2. Upcycling also saves energy as the energy needed to make the finished product is no longer used to make it.
3. With upcycling, water and air pollution are minimalized since the production process and the pollution it creates doesn't happen.
4. Upcycling helps in decreasing the number of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which means that it helps in reducing the effects of climate change.
5. The economy also benefits as the production costs are no longer needed with upcycling.

1. Reduce what goes into the garbage.
2. Minimal use of resources for produse. We don’t have to use any new raw materials in the production process.
3. The uniqueness of the subject
4. Crafty repair skills. This is a great skill.
5. Reduced manufacturing costs. If items make items from reclaimed materials, this can reduce their costs.

1. I think one benefit is that it helps the earth. We can re-use old items and make something beautiful out of them. We save materials from going into landfills.
2. Another benefit, it saves us money! If we can make something instead of buying a new item we can save money for other things such as gas.
3. My third benefit is we could possibly support a local business that upcycles items and sells them.
4. My fourth benefit is we could develop new craft skills and or begin a new hobby to help relieve stress.
5. Finally, I think we can reduce pollution by creating our own items instead of having companies and factories make them.
