Here are a few examples: Chemical recycling: Chemical recycling is a new technology that breaks down plastic waste into its basic building blocks, which can then be used to make new plastic products. This process is more efficient than traditional mechanical recycling, which can only process certain types of plastics.

Less than 10% of plastic gets recycled, and we’re now each ingesting a credit cards’ worth of microplastics a week. Bonus points if you sell your existing furniture rather than send it to the landfill (where it otherwise releases uber-potent methane for years). Upcycle Items You Already Own. Opt for Quality Over Quantity.

Methane, which is released as organic matter in landfill decomposes, traps up to 20 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Upcycle your furniture. There are no limits to what you can create when you upcycle. Anyone can join the upcycling revolution – so why not begin now? Reducing your landfill.

Scientists recognize that while coffee grounds seem harmless, when in the landfill they actually release methane gas, which has a greenhouse effect 28 times higher than carbon dioxide. Called XpreSole Panto, the boots are available in high-top or low-top options made with upcycled coffee grounds collected from local coffee shops in Taiwan.
