I am pretty sure you have think twice before trashing that old wooden ladder. Or that semi-broken chair. How about that used light bulb?
Recycling old items is not a new trend, although after Pinterest came into our lives, we all have taken into consideration to use our skills and transform that wooden ladder into something new.
So, to be more accurate, the proper word is Upcycle.
Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.
