New Collective of MITZ Artisans
February 16 marked a significant day for the MITZ Foundation with the certification of the first community of 2024 within our network of MITZ artisans.

How to transform creativity into sustainability?
In the search for more sustainable resource management, two key terms frequently arise: recycling and upcycling. Although they both share the goal of reducing waste and promoting reuse, there is an essential difference in their approach, and Mitz embraces this distinction with creative passion. Recycling is a process that involves taking used products or materials and transforming them into basic materials to create new products. In recycling, products are broken down into their original components and used to make something different, which helps reduce the accumulation of waste and reduce the extraction of natural resources. It is a key strategy to promote sustainability and reduce the environmental footprint. Upcycling , on the other hand, is a more creative and artistic...
