Sustainability present time the scenario of fashion is a big challenge and textile waste can be reused as the raw material for value added, products. A framework has been developed in the scenario for the creation of upcycled products from grament waste.

Various upcycling techniques have been applied for the eco-friendly recycling of clothing waste generated in daily life. In the field of fashion, various methods using waste or surpluse resources and circular fashion, designs by developing fabric cutting techniques have been studied as promising upcycling methods.
