Abstract
Recycling and upcycling falls into two main categories: that which utilises pre consumer waste - the waste produced through the manufacture of goods, prior to the finished product reaching the consumer; and that which utilises post consumer waste - waste that is produced through the disposal of manufactured goods when they are no longer needed by the consumer. In both cases, the process requires the re-contextualization of the by-product of production as a resource instead of surplus.
