Abstract:
Recycling and upcycling are
the prominent sustainable
practices that play a role
in the reduction of waste. Upcycling
is the process of transforming pre or post-consumer textile waste into
new clothing. In contrast, recycling
converts waste into base materials
used to manufacture new products.
Due to its role in resource
conservation and ability to divert
massive quantities of textile waste
from the trash stream, upcycling is
growing in popularity among the
textile and fashion designers
