Understanding Upcycling
I got all that I expected to see/learn.
I got some nice results thanks to this guide and can't wait for more to come.
I have been confused for a long time. The new crown pneumonia epidemic has caused me to stagnate my business. This course has given me inspiration from recycling business ideas, a guide on how to start my own company, and learn how to fund and market my products.
This course takes us to explore how to start transformation, and the connection between recycling and sustainable development goals, and give us successful cases to study examples. Courses that are easy to understand and benefit a lot. Not bad.
In this course, I learned how to apply the key concepts of waste recycling to real life and turn them into more interesting new products. It was really interesting.
In our daily life, there will always be a lot of unnecessary garbage. I always think about whether I can turn unnecessary objects or waste into brand new products. This course taught me how to recycle waste.
