Wooden Pallets Creative Upcycling

Wooden pallets are commonly used to move heavy objects, usually in construction. Once the job is done, they are discarded — thrown away or burnt. With a little bit of creativity, however, the pallets can be upcycled, offering a multitude of day-to-day nifty options to be used for interior and garden design.   Since upcycling is a relatively new term (1990), let me briefly explain how it differs from recycling. Recycling, as we know, is processing used materials into new materials. Whatever we throw away in our garbage from glass, metal, plastic, and paper is taken to recycling plants to be made into reusable products. These products are normally of lower quality than what they were before being recycled. The process is not really something the average man can do himself or at home. Upcycling, on the other hand, is defined as the process by which waste materials or useless products are converted into new materials or products of better quality and/or a higher environmental value. Unlike recycling, the material itself isn’t broken down and it doesn’t lose its quality in upcycling; it may be reworked, reconstructed, or used differently. Though the essence of the material remains the same. Check out this next photos series to see the artistic side of upcycling. Also check Creative Upcycled Furniture and Creative Bookshelves for more.
