The pieces in the collection were made using the upcycling method, which Printa has been working with since 2008. The upcycling technique is not the same as the more well-known recycling method, despite the fact that according to their Hungarian counterpart, both are "recycling". While recycling is the recycling of waste in its material (e.g. through selective waste collection), upcycling also involves an increase in value - so it means creating an object with a new meaning by using materials considered waste. This could be, among others, a bag made from leather scraps, a dress made from used shirts, or everything you can find in this collection.

We have collected the collections of the last 10 years in which we used this technique - you can read about them here.
