Upcycling in Fashion: Rethinking Waste and Degrowth

Imagine the fashion industry is like a big factory that makes way too many clothes.

It makes so much that a lot of it ends up as garbage.

'Degrowth' is like deciding to make and buy less stuff overall.

Upcycling is a cool way to reuse clothes that would otherwise be thrown away, turning them into something new and better.

This study looks at how upcycling can help us make less waste and think more carefully about the clothes we buy, like how nature doesn't waste anything.

It suggests that by working together and valuing what we have, we can make the fashion industry less wasteful and more friendly to the environment.
