In a world brimming with items too often discarded, upcycling — the process of transforming waste materials or unwanted products into new materials to be of greater quality — presents a wonderful opportunity to breathe new life into what many would consider trash.
Upcycling is the act of taking something no longer in use and giving it a second life and new function. In doing so, the finished product often becomes more practical, valuable, and beautiful than it previously was. While recycling involves the destruction of waste in order to create something new, upcycling creates something new from it in its current state.
Unfortunately, the clothing industry has drilled this idea into our heads that the biggest fashion crime you can commit is to repeat your clothes. It is time to undo and ditch that unsustainable idea promoted by advocates of fast fashion.
In today’s consumerist culture inside a materialistic world, slow fashion can be the conduit towards a sustainable fashion industry.
