W_UP Tour: Waste Upcycling Tour, a mobility scheme to raise people up, make them aware of waste management and upcycling issues, and create a positive impact in local communities on this topic. Upcycling means turning discarded things into something new, usable, useful and beautiful. It’s an improved form of recycling that gives new life to the unused things, giving them a new purpose and a much better quality. The environmental benefits of upcycling are huge, aside from reducing considerably the volume of waste being sent to landfill each year, it especially reduces the need for production using new or raw materials which means a reduction in air pollution, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and often a conservation of global resources.
