Anstatt noch verwendbare Stoffe weg zu schmeißen, kann man aus ihnen neue Gegenstände herstellen. Upcycling ist ein kreativer Angriff auf die Wegwerfgesellschaft.
Instead of substances still usable to throw away, you can create new objects from them. Upcycling is a creative attacking the throwaway society

Upcycling
Ideas instead of litter
Yearly, every German chucks 583 kg of litter away. Within that are not only things, which can be fixed with a simple hand movement, but also many materials out of which one can make objects.
A new trend counters the waste of resources which still are utilisable.
The Upcycling, also called remanufacture, transforms litter into new products. Contrary to recycling, the object gains worth. That way hammocks, bags, jewellery, lampshades, tables and chairs, flower vases, cartons, boxes and a lot more is produced.
Upcycling is not only a trend, but also a business idea.
In the Hackische Höfe, one can find the shop Bis es mir vom Leibe fällt (Until it drops from my body)
Here, old clothes are embellished. "We are making design, fabrication and we actually sew too"
While upcycling, the consumption of power, the air and water pollution and the greenhouse gas emissions are reduced. "The reason for upcycling is the thought of sustainability, not to produce new, but to use the already present" The feedback is, despite the high prices, without exception positive, probably due to the uniqueness of the business idea.
"Our idea is to work on customer request. That means, that people can come with their own ideas, and in a common process we find the perfect solution, the perfect design."
The principle of upcycling cannot be applied only to fashion.
In April 2013, the store "Recycling Deluxe" opened. "Our store is an upcycling concept store. I have never seen an other store with the same diversity. What makes us special is our large assortment. The variety which we can offer. One cans clothe oneself completely here. We have shoes, pants, shirts, which are recycled, we have lamps, mirrors, tables, furniture, racking system. In this variety - I have never seen this before."
Here too, the motivation was the protection of the resources. " Litter or materials to recycle exist infinitely. All recycling stations are full; the garbage stations are exploding."
There is also enough raw material for upcycling. We hope that the idea spreads and more and more upcycling stores open.
