As a child he grew up with the idea of not throwing things away because they would break or age, if something was solved or restored what we did and thus we gave him a second life. It rarely happened that something ended up in the trash.

 

Nowadays it is not necessary to take so much care of things, they are usually thrown away once worn or broken, they are replaced by more modern, cheap and fashionable products. Still, I think objects have their own history, betrayal will get on their journey to us.

 

Hence UpGus is Upcycling, a technique that reduces the consumption of new products, minimizes the cost of raw materials and reuses in order to extend its life, giving it a different shape even better than the original. The limit of Upcycling is our own imagination.
