The word "upcycling" was coined by William McDonaugh and Michael Braugart in their volume on ecologically intellectual design, Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things.. It is generally a reinvestment in the environment. In the simplest terms, upcycling is the practice of taking something that is throwaway and repurposing it into something of greater utilization and intrinsic worth, in its second life, which is what we do here at Upcycle Products.
We are manufacturers of rain barrels and composters. We use Food Quality High Density Poly Ethylene Barrels that were previously used for food. We clean and rinse them with rain water, add the fittings and screens for your use. The shapes will vary depending on what barrels are available for upcycling at the time of order. (To view our current stock, please visit our eBay Store which you will find on our Buying Online page. You will also find examples of some of the styles on the individual barrel pages.) The barrels will contain all the fittings needed to make you rain barrel very functional.   composter in typical set-up use
We also offer information about wholesale, municipal, retail and educational programs.
