THE UPCYCL is a B2B platform that enables what is waste for one company to become valuable resources for another. By connecting industries with industrial waste materials and companies that need them, THE UPCYCL creates circular possibilities. It fosters a tight-knit community where everyone shares surplus materials, maximizing the value of existing resources. In doing so, THE UPCYCL community reduces waste and virgin material consumption. All THE UPCYCL materials, referred to as New Waste materials, are uniform and flow continuously, ensuring that, when matched, the stream of New Waste materials keeps flowing. This enables companies to rely on a circular supply chain or turn industrial waste into a source of circular revenue.

Annually, over 1.1 million tons of waste are generated from industrial and manufacturing companies in Denmark. The portion of the waste consisting of uniform and reliable materials is referred to as New Waste. Today, many tons of New Waste materials end up in landfills every year without ever being used again. THE UPCYCL opens the doors for companies and circular thinkers, interested in learning about their Circular business model, and how, by working together, we can circulate industrial waste materials into new solutions. In THE UPCYCL's showroom you can explore different New Waste materials from the Danish industry and be inspired. How can these materials be used by designers, creators, architects, and developers in the future?

Founded in 2013, by Massimo Tonetto and Melissa Lunardi, VENICEM manufactures lighting fixtures and furniture that result from an incessant stylistic research. A unique design vision that develops through a profound dialogue between primary shapes and matter.
Balance is essential in the transformation of material into finished products. Each material possesses peculiarities that must be understood, indulged and challenged. In the careful hands of experts, lamps and furnishings acquire traits and irregularities, regarding which investigation into the processes that give shape to the matter is necessary.
VENICEM’s headquarters are located in a place where natural elements are combined with a noble tradition of high quality craftsmanship.
