Upcycling Group - Building end markets for circular economy

About Us

Transforming local waste into sustainable building materials.

We specialize in designing, delivering, and installing green manufacturing facilities capable of converting diverse post-consumer materials into valuable products, primarily for the construction sector.

With over 15 years of global experience, we have developed extensive industry expertise and forged strong relationships with key stakeholders in the circular economy. Our deep know-how and robust network empower us to develop and invest in projects that drive sustainability and economic growth.

How we work

Our mission is to establish a global network of Circular Economy facilities that significantly boost local recycling rates and create robust domestic markets for recycled materials as feedstock for sustainable building materials.

To effectively "close the loop," it is essential to engage all participants in the product life cycle in its end-of-life solution. Producers, brands, retailers, consumers, infrastructure providers, end markets, and governments all share the responsibility to contribute to this collective effort.

UPFACTORY™: A multifunctional upcycling hub

An UpFactory [ˈʌpfæktəri'] integrates multiple upcycling solutions under one roof, enhancing project economics through shared resources ("economy of scope"), operating on a custom-built system.

The UpFactory Model 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.
