Abstract
Abstract: Upcycling is a design technique that employs pre- and post-consumer waste from clothing producers or clothes that have been disassembled to create new fashion, offering a sustainable design option to remove textile waste from landfills. The textile industry is benefiting from modern technology, which are reducing time and resource waste and boosting production. Although upcycling may only provide a short-term solution, it may assure the complete eradication of pollution from plastics. While enacting dynamic changes, efforts are being made to adopt eco-friendly and secure products. With many firms presenting collections made of recycled plastic or other synthetic materials, sustainable fashion has become mainstream. And other companies are going above and beyond by including upcycling into their annual collections. The primary distinction between upcycling and recycling is that upcycled clothing is constructed from previously used items, whereas recycled clothing is created from materials that have already been broken down. According to the non-profit organisation WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Plan) in the UK, clothing has the fourth largest environmental impact (behind housing, transportation, and food), and upcycling is great for the environment because the textile industry uses a lot of water, energy, chemicals, and other harmful materials. Investing in research and development to use sustainable raw materials and creating environmentally friendly goods are all necessary for the textile sector to advance responsibly without further damaging the environment. The following review is about the various articles about the sustainable ways of approach in textile industry.
