Saehwaryong is a Korean term for upcycling, a process of redesigning or recycling discarded resources or materials to give them a new value or purpose. Seoul Upcycling Plaza operates upcycling-related exhibitions, upcycling practice education and experience programs, design studios, upcycling stores, workshops, and more. It is a great place to look around for ideas and inspirations on how to use products for longer periods of time. The plaza demonstrates the first step to creating a resource-recycling society.
