- Abstract
Upcycle is a branch of sustainability that helps overcome excess material wastage from a product. However, the lack of exposure to upcycling resulted in the communities’ failure to practice it as a beneficial routine. The author studied a small number of articles involving descriptive reviews on upcycling in the fashion and textile industry. The current research investigated the latest scenario in upcycling fashion and textile-based business/industries and consumer behaviour literature. Nineteen articles related to the research were discovered through the review approach, Scopus, and Google Scholar review databases. By closely examining these articles, three main themes were identified: upcycling product material, upcycling design strategies and business, and upcycling consumers’ behaviour. The author made various suggestions by emphasising the need to conduct detailed qualitative research and standardise a descriptive review approach. Adopting the suggested methods will help develop a research synthesis upcycle business framework and understand upcycling practitioner perspectives about upcycling fashion and textile. It also encourages upcycling consumers to practice reference searching, free forms of citation tracking, and snowballing as search methods.
