"The reality is that there is no one size solution that fits all. Effective waste management requires a holistic approach, combining recycling, composting, source reduction, safe disposal and, well, yes, upcycling where it is appropriate. These methods are complementary, not competitive. By elevating upcycling above all others, we risk diverting attention and resource from the broader systematic changes that are urgently needed. Changes that address waste at its source, improve infrastructure and foster a culture of sustainability."
