WHAT DOES DOWN-CYCLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Downcycling

Downcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of lesser quality and reduced functionality. Downcycling aims to prevent wasting potentially useful materials, reduce consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution and water pollution. Its goals are also lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. A clear of example of downcycling is plastic recycling, which turns the material into lower grade plastics. The term downcycling was used by Reiner Pilz in an interview by Thornton Kay of Salvo in 1994. We talked about the impending EU Demolition Waste Streams directive. "Recycling, he said, "I call it downcycling. They smash bricks, they smash everything. What we need is upcycling where old products are given more value not less." He despairs of the German situation and recalls the supply of a large quantity of reclaimed woodblock from an English supplier for a contract in Nuremberg while just down the road a load of similar blocks was scrapped. In the road outside his premises, was the result of the Germans' demolition waste recycling.
