in 2014, upcycle promoted sustainable living through awareness of our waste and solutions for the reduction or repurposing of unwanted materials by diverting over 520. 5 cubic feet of refuse materials from the waste stream. These materials stocked upcycle's retail outlet with low cost arts and crafts materials available to everyone.
in 2014, upcycle trained educators and community care providers on the opportunities and benefits of using everyday materials for exploratory art during eight workshops.
