Seoul Upcycling Plaza

Opened in September 2017, Seoul Upcycling Plaza is the world's largest upcycling complex cultural space where you can see, learn, and experience everything about upcycling. 'Upcycling' is the Korean term for adding design to discarded resources or changing how they are used to create new value.

Seoul Upcycling Plaza utilizes discarded resources more creatively for design, manufacturing, and distribution, while also engaging in various activities that propose a new way of life to citizens. It operates upcycling-related exhibitions, upcycling practice education and experience programs, design studios, an upcycling edit shop, and workshops. At Seoul Upcycling Plaza, a ZeroWaste advance base that works alongside recycling, reuse, and reduction, you can experience a variety of activities. It also helps broaden awareness of upcycling and suggests ways to use items valuably for a long time.
