THE UPCYCL and Bygma's Partnership Featured in Licitationen

Did you know that every year, the event industry in Denmark discards an area of carpets totaling 4,100 km²?

But now, THE UPCYCL community and its collaboration with Bygma Gruppen A/S are giving new life to these carpets!

You can read more about this in Licitationen, where Bygma has a feature on their "take back" program.

The Take-back program is a collaboration between Bygma and a number of partners, including THE UPCYCL, who work with the reuse of materials for the construction industry.

Bygma stores have already warmly welcomed the carpets – and they’re moving quickly back into circulation.

Action first! And that's exactly how our collaboration with Bygma Gruppen A/S began.

Here are a few key takeaways from the article:

“In our strategic partnership with Bygma, THE UPCYCL has created a bridge between the event industry and the construction sector. Carpets from events are reprocessed and given a new life as protective coverings in construction, reducing waste, CO2 emissions, and the need for new materials.”

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Bygma, who have shown us a great deal of trust and respect. We share a common goal: to protect our climate. By working with Bygma, we’re reaching an extensive sales network,” explains Rikke Ullersted.

“THE UPCYCL makes continuous waste materials available to companies that can use them”

“At THE UPCYCL, we see ourselves as a marketplace and matchmakers, ensuring waste materials find new uses across industries and sectors.”

“Through our partnership with Bygma, event carpets find a new function as protective coverings for the construction industry.”
