Too late to recycle
(2022) In Diploma work IDEL01 20221Industrial Design
- Abstract
- Ceasing the pollution of greenhouse gasses will be the
biggest challenge of the twentieth century. There is no one
solution. Renewable energy sources include solar energy,
hydropower, and many more. Just as we have to utilize
all these different resources, designers will to the same
extent need to explore and adopt new design strategies,
upcycling being one of them.
Despite all the benefits and increasing interest, upcycling is
today largely considered a niche practice. For upcycling to
gain the traction of a wider audience, a new design strategy
needs to be applied to its products. Both to increase the
longevity of the products and increase the interest and
confidence of the consumers.

One of the important gaps in the current state of knowledge
on upcycling is a lack of systemic understanding of
challenges and success factors relating to scaling up
upcycling businesses. To be able to design a successful
product, that would be viable to produce and suitable for
the market, I will need to identify these factors to learn
from what has worked earlier and what haven’t. (Less)
