This is a type of recycling where a material or object is turned into a better-quality item. When you upcycle, you usually use an object for its original purpose but make it even better by repainting it, adding new features, or make it easier to use. An example could be if someone uses old paint chip samples to create a piece of wall art.

Repurposing - This is another way of reusing materials or items rather than throwing them in the trash. When you repurpose a material, you use it for something totally different than its original use. An example could be when someone uses an old car tire or broken wheelbarrow to create a garden planter. ]]> 2020-04-16 23:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aradeva1/repurposing/wish/511797618 aradeva1 https://padlet.com/aradeva1/repurposing/wish/511797622 Materials needed:
