All about upcycling
Yiuco is the place where we develop, ideas and actions concerning the exploitation, upgrading of transformation of “useless” or waste materials and products into new materials or products of better quality or better environmental value. This is Upcycling, a cyclical economy, is the effort to minimize losses by closing the circle of materials and energy.
Is achieved through long lasting design, maintenance, repair, reuse and remanufacturing. Creates jobs, saves resources, prevents waste and protects the environment.
Our goal is to inform, educate and organize actions with your participation. To think, design and create new, longer-lasting products that will be recycled more easily and reused instead of ending up as waste.
