Upcycling or overcycling means making something new out of something old, with a gain in quality and added value for the end product. Used materials are given a new life, a new destiny.
On Thursday, October 27, 2022, the Upcycling Festival Association is organizing a professional event in Lyon dedicated to this topic, with the main theme of upcycling and the energy & ecological transition. It's the meeting place for national and European upcycling players from all sectors.
The Upcycling Festival brings together a community of nearly five thousand managers, executives and specialists on the Linkedin social network. Through their exchanges on this channel, it became clear that supply and demand didn't know each other. While everyone has their own expertise and projects, there's a lack of a physical place for dialogue and meetings, where people can exchange ideas, forge partnerships and forge fruitful collaborations. Hence the strong demand from the community to organize a meeting.
" The aim of our association is to reference all the players in the sector and create links between them to contribute to the development of this new circular economy industry." explains Jacques Chalvin, President and Founder of the Upcycling Festival.
From 11.30am to 12pm, Hervé Zeller, CEO & Founder at Propice, Pauline Grumel, Director at Unisoap, and Laurent Schubnel, CSR Group SRR Leader at Gattefossé, will lead a roundtable discussion on the world of cosmetics.
