Imagine a world where waste is a thing of the past and every resource is used to its fullest potential. Braskem and Terra Circular shared this vision and joined forces to create a new joint venture, with the aim of be in the forefront of a global shift towards a circular economy. At Upsyde, we develop and manufacture a range of products, such as pallets, road plates, and heavy duty mats.
We’re dedicated to making a real difference in the world by tackling the tough challenge of upcycling mixed and hard-to-recycle plastic waste. Upcycling is about transforming discarded materials into something even better.
Our patented “waste-to-parts” technology does just that, turning hard-to-recycle plastics into sustainable circular goods of higher quality and value. By upcycling, we also create shared value for our partners and deliver economic and sustainable benefits for business and society.
At Upsyde, we’re committed to making sustainability a reality, and we know that collaboration is the key to success. By working closely with our partners – suppliers, customers, and investors – we can maximize our efforts to accelerate the transition to a circular economy and create shared values through smart upcycling.
Our innovative business model invites stakeholders to rethink the end-of-life process and join us in tackling the plastic waste problem head-on. Together, we can create a new and better future, where circular goods not only reduce waste, but also make a positive impact on the environment and society as a whole.
Join us on this smart upcycling journey for a more circular and sustainable future for all. Upsyde: smart upcycling for a circular and sustainable future.
For us, waste is a valuable resource. Upsyde recycles a variety of plastic waste, often waste which is not being recycled until now. With that, we are reinventing the way value is created using waste to produce positive effective solutions. Smart upcycling is what we do - transforming hard-to-recycle plastics into circular goods.
In the beginning, there was our disruptive mindset. We found an innovative way to upcycle hard-to-recycle plastics - and with that, our patented technology on "waste-to-parts" was born. Years later, we are committed to keep innovating for and together with our partners. We think differently, building unique customized solutions for our clients and partners.
When we identify and expand connections among social, environmental and business needs, we are reinventing the way value is created, multiplying its benefits. With this belief that drives our actions, we go beyond mitigating negative impact, we are building positive value for the planet today and for future generations.
Our vision is that together we can move faster and go further. We engage in successful partnerships with customers, suppliers and other key stakeholders to generate positive value and ultimately reshape the future. We push the boundaries for effective results and optimization for businesses, while building positive impact to the environment and society.
