For the Upcycling zine we still have to write up what we're going to say, struggling slightly I have done a bit more research to get the thought process going a bit more, and see what other people have to say about 'Upcycling' and how they would explain it's meaning etc.
'If you're not up on the green lingo, the best way to think of upcycling
is that it's like a sexier, even greener version of recycling. When
something is recycled (or "downcycled"), it's broken down into something
of lesser quality--a process that consumes energy. Upcycling adds value
by transforming or reinventing an otherwise-disposable item into
something of higher quality. It's the ultimate in reuse--and a whole new
industry sector is shaping up around it.' - http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/219310
