UpCycling Plus is started by a group of professional artisans, designers and apprentice with the goal to promote social and urban mobility through upcycling and cycling. In addition to providing a co-learning platform for sharing skills and knowledge through guided tours and workshops on craft and design, UpCycling Plus creates a cargo bike ‘Moving Gacang’ that travels through neighborhoods as a mobile makerspace and tools library. We aim to bring creativity, vintage aesthetics and traditional craftsmanship to the public, creating more possibilities in our lives and community. Let’s turn waste into improved taste!
