Abstract: Upcycling is the method by which old or discarded items are turned into something useful and sometimes beautiful. The aim, as described by McDonough, is to This paper examines the process of upcycling design that will lead to sustainable business models that can be scaled and commercialized. It aims to chain the critical features and elements of product creation through the method of upcycling design for scalable production with commercial market value. avoid the loss of potentially usable goods by using existing materials, which is similar to recycling, but differs because we do not break down the product into the base material to produce new items, but rather refashion themBut the issue with upcycling is often that it's often seen as a home-based DIY project or end up being art installations that don't scale up to business viability. This leads to a lack of interest by industry in upcycling and the required thrash treatment that could have been saved from landfill. This paper examines the pro cess of upcycling design that will lead to sustainable business models that can be scaled and commercialized. It aims to chain the critical features and elements of product creation through the method of upcycling design for scalable production with commercial market value.
