When something is upcycled, nothing,     6    very little, is thrown away, with every component part having a potential use.
An upcycled product is generally    7    higher value than the materials or objects which are used to create    8    , like metal ring pulls becoming pins or earrings, low-value coins becoming cufflinks(袖扣), and so on.
