Reducing our carbon footprint and
leading a more sustainable life is more crucial than ever. That's why concepts
such as upcycling are becoming incredibly important. Upcycling is a practical
approach to enhancing environmental sustainability, conserving resources, and
fostering economic and creative opportunities. Upcycling reduces waste and
conserves natural resources by repurposing items that would otherwise be
discarded. It saves money and energy by using existing materials, decreasing
the need for new production. Additionally, upcycling fosters creativity and
promotes sustainability awareness. This World Environment Day, &TV
artists speak about the importance of upcycling and household products they
have repurposed. These include Neha
Joshi (Krishna Bihari Vajpayee, Atal), Himani Shivpuri (Katori Amma, Happu Ki
Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi
Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain). Neha Joshi,
aka Krishna Bihari
Vajpayee from Atal,
shares, “I am passionate about incorporating upcycled products into my lifestyle.
From repurposed shooting bags to a customised makeup kit, I have embraced
various upcycled items from a reputable brand owned by a close friend. My
preference for upcycled products over traditional branded items stems from my
commitment to minimising plastic usage. By opting for upcycled products, I
actively contribute to reducing plastic waste and environmental impact. In
addition to using upcycled products, I have also taken the initiative to
upcycle items in my possession. For instance, I transformed an old aluminium
kettle into a unique lamp and repurposed a chain basket for a creative storage
solution. Furthermore, I've repurposed my old jeans into stylish cushion
covers, adding a personal touch to my living space. One of my favourite upcycling
projects involves repurposing more than ten biryani pots as planters. Over the
past two years, I've collected these pots with each biryani order, and now they
serve as a vibrant and eco-friendly addition to my home garden. Embracing
upcycling allows me to express my creativity and contributes to a sustainable
and environmentally conscious lifestyle.”

Himani
Shivpuri, aka Katori Amma from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan,
shares, “By reimagining everyday items, I am dedicated to minimising
single-use plastic in my life. I have taken the initiative to repurpose my old
sarees into durable cotton bags and transform plastic bottles into colourful
planting pots. Each upcycled creation represents my unwavering commitment to
sustainability. I believe in promoting plastic-free alternatives and utilising
creativity as a powerful tool to address plastic pollution. I have witnessed
children creating art containers from ice cream sticks and crafting pen holders
from repurposed materials. Every upcycled product signifies a small but
impactful step towards a greener, cleaner future for our planet.” Shubhangi Atre,
aka Angoori Bhabi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai,
shares, "I have
integrated sustainability into every aspect of my life, from using bamboo for
toothbrushes to creating teddy bears from old clothes and making lamps from
reused glass bottles. I also opt for cotton and jute bags when shopping to
reduce waste and embrace natural materials. Let's continue to reimagine,
repurpose, and redefine our consumption habits, transforming everyday objects
into treasures. Let's adopt and practice upcycling to turn waste into wonder
and inspire a future where creativity and sustainability go hand in hand.”
