CULT-UP | Upcycling and Cultural Heritage

CULT-UP is a project of cultural upcycling.
It proposes new strategies to promote a critical discourse on the "cultural management" of waste and to valorize the practice of redesign/upcycling as a form of cultural heritage. The focus is on two types of "upcycled waste": inorganic (plastics) and organic (textiles).
More generally, CULT-UP aims to stimulate critical reflection, examine case studies, collect best practices, and propose a "white paper" to stakeholders on the strategies and benefits of upcycling.

CULT-UP is financed by the European Union - NextGenerationEU through the Italian Ministry of University and Research under PNRR - Mission 4, Component 2, Investment 1.1., cod. P2022FZAEA. It has two research units: unibo and unito.
