A JOINT RESOLUTION acknowledging the benefits of reusing and upcycling plastic in the environment by designating April 16  each year as “Upcycling Day.”Upcycling is the act of taking something no longer useful in its current form and giving it a second life and a new function, a creative process rooted in the concept of a circular economy where waste is regarded as a resource and is repurposed into something practical, valuable, or beautiful;

A universal logo, also known as an iconic or universally recognizable logo, offers several benefits: Instant Recognition: A universal logo has the power to be quickly recognized and associated with a particular brand, company, or concept across different cultures, languages, and geographical locations. It transcends language barriers and effectively communicates the identity of the entity it represents. Brand Consistency: A universal logo ensures consistency in brand representation across various platforms, media, and touchpoints. It eliminates the need for multiple variations of a logo, reducing confusion and strengthening brand recognition. Memorable and Impactful: A well-designed universal logo has the potential to leave a lasting impression on people's minds. Its simplicity, clarity, and strong visual appeal make it memorable and more likely to be recalled by consumers. Global Reach: With a universal logo, brands can expand their presence and enter new markets with ease. The logo's universal nature allows it to resonate with diverse audiences worldwide, facilitating brand awareness and acceptance in different cultures. Cost-Effectiveness: Adopting a universal logo can be cost-effective for businesses. By developing a single logo design that can be used universally, companies save resources that would otherwise be spent on creating and maintaining multiple variations of a logo for different markets. Flexibility and Adaptability: A universal logo provides flexibility when it comes to implementation across various mediums, such as print, digital platforms, packaging, signage, and advertising. It can be scaled, adapted, and integrated seamlessly into different design contexts without losing its core identity. Competitive Advantage: A distinctive universal logo helps a brand stand out from its competitors. It becomes a symbol of trust, reliability, and familiarity, creating a competitive advantage by building strong brand recognition and loyalty. It's important to note that while a universal logo offers numerous benefits, not all brands or entities necessarily require or benefit from one. Some companies may find value in tailoring their logos to specific markets or audience segments, depending on their business objectives and target demographics.

Niet zozeer het aantal mensen bepaalt de draagkracht van de aarde. Het is de overconsumptie die de wereld bedreigt. De groei-economie moet vervangen worden door een economie die gericht op sociaal welzijn en ecologisch evenwicht. MEER

The Institute of Global Sustainability Certification (IGSC) claimed to have developed the world’s first upcycle product certification scheme for all products related to upcycling including upcycling of food.

Jaren geleden dachten we bij het woord duurzaam aan zaken zoals energie, water en afval. Hoe kunnen we al deze grondstoffen besparen? Enig idee welke recyclemethode het beste is? Maar nu verlegt dit woord zijn grenzen. Steeds meer bedrijven onderzoeken hoe zij maatschappelijk verantwoord kunnen ondernemen. Of het nu je lokale groenteboer is of juist de grootste modeketens. Het belang van duurzaam ondernemen is eindelijk gezien. Deze week leg ik dus de focus op iets waar mijn hart sneller van gaat kloppen. Duurzame trends in de modebranche.

Deze gemeenten gaan wij in September benaderen voor een Upcyclingday:

We werken samen met Monday.com om de organisatie met de Gemeenten goed te doen verlopen. Vandaag contact gehad Monday.com in Tel Aviv, zij zijn net zo enthousiast als wij en gaan zij gaan ons ondersteunen!
