Here the designer items are created from recycled materials. Proceeds are then fed back into reducing the carbon footprint of each gift, and the Christmas industry as a whole. They also support creative businesses that lead the fight against climate change.
There’s a dizzying array of artefacts on display: bags upholstered from wallpaper, detergent-bottle jewellery, tobacco holders fashioned out of old rubber mattresses. Some of the gifts come directly from the most obscure sources: wallets from packaging for ground coffee, Nusenka jewellery from coffee capsules and Zsóka Művek jewellery from drinking straws.
Techniques from the past are revived: Reborn makes bags from old advertising billboards, Polá Polá’s jewellery is from bicycle innards, Pillia’s necklaces from cotton cut-offs. There is a special corner for zero-waste lifestyle items, such as a BPA-free plastic bottle in which a piece of carbon purifies the water.
Some items are so beautiful that you wouldn’t associate them with recycling – the colourful, eye-catching notebooks by Popartbox, or the glittering casual bags from old wallpaper by Infinity Paper Design – but you would be delighted to find them under your Christmas tree. It is not as expensive to buy things at UPSZ as it is usually for arts and crafts, you can get a great present for between 3,000-4,000 forints.
