Upcycling competition reinforces Amaia Nuvali lifestyle
, the process of turning used goods or waste material to produce something that is often better than the original, is the most viable option. This was the idea behind Amaia Steps Parkway Nuvali's The Upcycling Challenge.
The Amaia’s Upcycling Challenge finalists created home products that are useful to Amaia homeowners and consistent with the theme "Living Re-Imagined."
The contestants were invited in Solenad 1, Nuvali where they executed their designs. Check the complete list of the 13 participated teams at "Living Re-Imagined” - Amaia Steps Parkway Nuvali holds Upcycling Challenge

For the Upcycling Challenge last Oct. 17 and 24 at the Solenad 1, Nuvali, 13 groups were each given 24 hours to create marketable and practical home products using a selected material, in this case, plastic soft drink bottles. Each team was provided with P3,000 for raw materials and transportation to the site.
Upcycling helps reduce carbon emissions, which are the amount of carbon dioxide produced to support our lifestyles. Your carbon footprint measures your impact on the climate based on how much carbon dioxide you produce. Factors that contribute to your carbon footprint include your methods of transportation and energy usage.
If they're not biodegradable, they're out there occupying space and possibly polluting the earth's seas or forests. Before throwing anything out, think about that. It may be a small step but it's something that will matter in the long run.
Upcycling also saves money (like making old clothes into a bed cover) and helps preserve out resources.
