L'upcycling (ou « surcyclage ») consiste à transformer un objet usé en un objet nouveau et utile, au lieu de le jeter (instead of throwing it away). Un vieux jean devient un sac (a tote bag), un bocal (a jar) devient une lampe, une boîte de conserve (a tin can) devient un pot de fleurs. C'est moins cher (cheaper), plus écologique (greener) et créatif. Après une préposition (instead of, by, before, without), le verbe prend la forme en -ing.
