Our Mission

UpcycleSG aims to make textile recycling accessible, educational, and visible. We turn the act of "throwing away" into an opportunity for community connection.

Who We Are

We are a group of students from Temasek Polytechnic who believe that sustainability shouldn't be boring. Started as a final year project, UpcycleSG has grown into a community movement bridging youth energy with senior wisdom.

Not Just Recycling

While recycling is important, upcycling adds value. By teaching people how to turn old clothes into functional items like rugs, bags, and coasters, we:

  • Extend the lifespan of materials
  • Reduce demand for new virgin materials
  • Preserve crafting skills within the community
  • Foster intergenerational bonding

Non-Profit Statement

UpcycleSG is an educational initiative. Any proceeds from the sale of upcycled items are strictly used to cover material costs and fund future free workshops for the community.
