    Hi Dolma,

    This is your mentor Yuseon:D

    Thanks for the thematic report for May:)
    You have described the advantages of upcycling and few companies that put it to act. I wonder if the numbers are mixed up because #5 seems to have come up.
    It would have been more informative to know what kind of waste were converted to such products on the above.

    Anyway, thanks for sharing this info!

    Hi Dolma,

    This is your mentor Debbie :)

    I appreciate your article about upcycling and some exemplar companies involved. I think the article could be improved if you could attach a few photos of the product from the aforementioned companies! In that way we can see the differences among the various companies and compare how each of them is creating its own market.

    Keep up the work!

    Green Cheers,

    Debbie
