THE UpFACTORY MODEL

The UpFACTORY Model and Operating System was developed by Upcycling Group to target the chronic waste problems of local circular economies around the world - the lack of domestic end markets for municipal recyclables.

We work with an expanding group of waste sorting and processing innovators and equipment suppliers to develop a global network of Circular Economy showcase facilities that significantly increase local recycling rates, create new green manufacturing jobs, relieve local landfills and build strong domestic end markets for all recyclable waste streams.

“The key to successfully “close the loop” is to activate and include all participants in the product’s life cycle in its end-of-life solution. Producers, brands, retailers, consumers, infrastructure providers, end markets and governments all share the responsibility to do their part.”
