Upcycling - Hip Upz

Upcycling transforms waste materials and unwanted products into new, high-quality items, reducing the need for virgin resources and minimizing environmental impact. This innovative approach not only breathes new life into discarded materials but also curbs pollution and conserves energy. 

  

Why is upcycling sustainable?

By repurposing existing materials, upcycling drastically reduces waste sent to landfills and lowers the demand for new raw materials. This process conserves natural resources, decreases greenhouse gas emissions, and promotes a circular economy. In the world of fashion, upcycling translates to unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that stand out and make a positive environmental impact. 

 

Currently we are purchasing second-hand fashion from private persons via Vinted or via second-hand stores such as Het Goed in Nijmegen, the Netherlands or get donations.
