I am so fascinated by companies that turn one (wo)man’s junk into another’s treasure. Finding a demand for “trash” is a creative challenge that I hope you’re up for! This CRAFTMAS reveal theme is just that. Finding another purpose for what others might throw away.
Let’s your imagination run wild. Anything goes! Upcycling is different than recycling – one is to reuse for another purpose, and one is to upvalue products innovatively. Which will you choose? Maybe both?
Need a little inspiration?
