Abstract
The Upcycling Convention (UpCon) is a platform to connect designer-makers of the upcycling movement with customers, companies, and policymakers, as well as with educational institutions, teachers, and students. We aim to make upcycling more relevant for society as a whole! UpCon seeks to promote sustainable lifestyles and economic practices based on reuse, repair, upcycling, and the sharing economy! This year we are celebrating the 5th edition with a Conference, Festival and Workshop.
