TechnicoFlor recently launched an entire collection of perfumes formulated from upcycled materials, including waste from the food and furniture industries. A feat that culminates more than a decade of commitment to environmentally conscious practices.

Berengere Bourgarel, one of its perfumers, explains (in this interview translated from French) what upcycling, in vogue in many sectors, consists of in fragrance, and goes through the many initiatives undertaken by the family-owned group to move towards greener fragrance making.
