Sign upA process for upcycling the excess inventories in the fashion industry
#CycSatellites by LittleDesignSolution implemented by Studio P.I. in Shanghai (China (Mainland)) in 2007
Over five years, upcycling 5,000 pieces has saved approximately 100 tons of CO2 eq, diverting about 2.5 tons of textile waste from landfills. This effort also saved around 50,000 kWh of energy, enough to power 20 households for a year. By using upcycled materials, the brands reduced material costs by about 50%, translating to monthly savings of $2,000. The initial investment in upcycling technology and training was recouped within 18 months.
