Nonprofit Organization Management - , ,
Upcycle Life is a Charlotte-based, not-for-profit company which produces one-of-a-kind bags and accessories, helping the environment and transforming lives by creating jobs for individuals in under-served communities. We believe that doing well and doing good should never be seen as competing ideas, but rather as perfect compliments to one another. Our success will not be defined by how many bags we sell, but by how many lives we change for the better. From the beginning, our commitment has been centered on two main ideas: First, that we could be a powerful force for change in the region's environmental sustainability efforts by showing people how simple it can be to take materials we might otherwise throw away, and turning those materials into amazing new products that we all use in our everyday lives. Sometimes the answer to reducing our environmental impact on the planet is easy to do and right under our nose. We want to show the world that giving unwanted materials a second life does not have to take a lot of effort or require a tremendous amount of additional energy. Secondly, we wanted our entire business model to revolve around helping those in our local community who are most in need. In addition to providing training and employment opportunities for the most marginalized members living in the Charlotte region. We donate 10% of all revenue to local service organizations who already make a difference everyday as they serve in our neighborhoods.
