현대의 디자인 산업은 환경을 파괴하던 산업구조를 벗어나 에코디자인을 필두로 친환경적 디자인에 몰두 하여 업사이클에 큰 관심을 보이고 있다. 다양한 산업과 함께 패션 장신구 산업도 친환경적 디자인을 적용, 업사이클 장신구를 개발해야 할 때이다. 이 논문은 다양한 측면에서 업사이클의 개념을 이해하고 사례를 탐구하여 패션장신구 산업의 업사이클 방향을 제시한다.

업사이클링 산업은 관련 국내 시장의 규모가 해외 시장보다 현저히 느려 미약적인 성장을 거듭하였지만 2016년 기준 약 200억원까지 달하는 것으로 분석되어 관련 사업이 지속적으로 발전할 것으로 예상된다. 역사성을 지속시키되 창의성을 더한 희소성, 친환경 의식으로 감성적 '가치소비' 트렌트와 맞물리면서 업사이클링 산업은 확산될 것으로 기대된다. 이에 따라 업사이클링 시장 환경을 되살리고 새로운 부가가치를 창출하는 새로운 신 시장으로 다가오고 있다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 국 내외 업사이클링을 기반으로 한 도시재생 사례를 분석하는 연구로서 이를 통해 공공 환경 디자인에 업사이클링이 적용될 수 있는 기초 연구로서 의의가 있다.

This study aims to discuss the concept of upcycling as it applies to diaper recycling. Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials into new products of better quality. Through benchmarking of upcycling examples, useless objects can be transformed into valuable materials. However, current upcycling examples determine value creation related to qualitative elements, so that it is difficult to establish any quantitative strategy of upcycled products. Therefore, this study expands a B2B (Business to business) product for improving market availability and establishes a direction using both recovered pulp and mixed plastic at the same time. As a result, the upcycling method for recovered pulp and mixed plastics, is the application of a cellulose insulator. Within the near future, the high quality insulator market will grow more than three times. An upcycling strategy targeting the high quality insulator market needs to be established.

Purchasing behavior for upcycled fashion products was examined along with analysis on environment consciousness, clothing recycling behavior, interest in fashion and awareness of upcycling. Students from middle schools, general high schools and design high schools participated in this research from August to September in 2013. 732 questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS WIN. Firstly the levels of environmental consciousness, clothing recycling behavior and interest in fashion of students were high, low and mediate respectively. Female students showed higher environmental consciousness compared to male ones and clothing recycling behavior were found to be higher in students of design high schools than those of general ones. The level of interest in fashion was found to be higher in students of general high school than those of middle school, and this was higher in design high school students than those of general ones. Secondly, more than half of students were unaware of upcycling. Female students and students of design high schools were highly aware of upcycling. Students who were aware of upcycling showed high level of environmental consciousness, clothing recycling behaviour and interest in fashion. Thirdly, students had low experiences in purchasing upcycled fashion products and the reason was lack of awareness of upcycling. The reason that students purchased upcycled fashion products was the uniqueness and design. Students who purchased upcycled fashion products showed high environmental consciousness, clothing recycling behaviour, and interest in fashion.

This study aims to explore the perceptions of MZ's on eco-friendly consumption and their preferences for eco-friendly souvenirs. The top reasons for buying upcycling products include design, price, differentiation, and environmentalism, with design having the most influence on product purchase. Design is also a top consideration when buying upcycling souvenirs. Regarding environmental issues, they were most aware of the seriousness of environmental pollution and thought that recycling of fashion products was necessary. When it comes to eco-friendly fashion purchasing behaviors, the most common choice is to buy clothes that will last longer than those that are in fashion. Upcycling products are more likely to be purchased when there is a concern for the environment or an interest in eco-friendly products. In addition, those who have purchased upcycling products are more likely to be aware of and interested in eco-friendly fashion products and recycling of fashion products. Women are more likely than men to be concerned about environmental issues, and women are also more likely to be aware of upcycling souvenirs. In future research, it would be useful to study the relationship between upcycling products, environmental issues, consumer behavior, and upcycling souvenirs.

The study explores the growing interest in up-cycling within the fashion industry, driven by concerns over environmental degradation caused by mass production and fast fashion. Emphasizing the ethical dimension, the research focuses on recombination processes. Departing from traditional up-cycling concepts, the study introduces new expression methods by altering the position, function, and role of clothes. The target audience is women in their 20s and 30s, with the designs incorporating various materials and re-purposing frequently discarded items like jackets, suits, jeans, and bags. The goal is to offer diverse expressions of uphigh-dimensional clothing designs using waste material dismantling and recycled clothing while addressing environmental responsibility in fashion design.

산업은 흔히 생명체처럼 일종의 라이프사이클을 따르는 것으로 여겨지고 있다. 이들은 태어나서, 젊고 활력 넘치는 성장기를 거쳐, 투자기, 발전기의 과정으로 나아가며 일정한 지점에 이르게 되면 성숙과 힘을 성취한다 이 지점에 서 기술개발속도는 떨어지며, 발전 중이거나 새로이 산업화한 경제 속에서 다음 세대가 탄생한다. 이 새로운 세대가 낮은 코스트를 기반으로 힘을 성취해가게 됨에 따라, 초창기의 생산 기반에 자리잡은 구세대의 활력과 경쟁력은 점차 약화된다. 그리하면 구세대는 결실을 맺고 지루한 종반전(end-game)인 쇠 퇴기에 접어든다. 이러한 탄생, 쇠퇴 그리고 훨씬 낮은 코스트를 기반으로 하는 경제로의 이 전이라는 라이프사이클은 일부 중공업에서는 쉽게 관찰되지만. 그밖의 다른 산업분야에서는 명확하지 않다. 조선업의 경우는 어떠한가. 선진 조선국의 조선 업이 성숙기에서 그 경쟁력 유지가 가능할 것인가, 아니면 이들 산업이 일련 의 보다 낮은 코스트 지대로 옮겨가는 것이 필연적인가. 이 글에서 필자들은 전술한 라이프사이클이라는 분석틀을 사용하여 이 같은 물음과 관련된 몇 가지 문제를 살펴보고자 한다

This research aims at developing human resources who will serve as flexible mediators in the future national or cultural conflict situations. The primary learning contents approach the class by selecting the upcycling design activities, in which the students recognize the problem of waste that is for all and study representative characteristics and backgrounds of each culture. The classes were held centering around the student members of GunpoYMCA, and the culturally characteristic materials were made through upcycling design. The activities included making giraffes in Africa with plastic bottles, Mongolian tents with wooden posts, snow globes with sauce pots, patchworks and rugs with shirts and textiles, and garlands with banners, which helped students learn the new term upcycling as well as get interested in the environmental problems. Also, they could understand other cultures by creating materials that represent each culture and studying their origins and historical backgrounds. In conclusion, this research offers value by developing abilities to cope with not only conflicts between cultures but confrontations between nations in the larger scope.

현대의 도시재생사업은 도시의 기존 모습을 유지하면서도 낙후된 도심 환경을 개선하여 원주민의 재정착률을 높이고 쇠퇴한 구도심에 새로운 활력을 불어넣는 것을 목표로 한다. 도시재생에서 환경조형물은 이러한 시대적 요구와 그것이 놓이는 장소 혹은 공간이 가지는 의미, 공공성 또는 공익성이라는 영역에서 예술적 가치를 창출해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 마을흔적보전사업의 환경조형물을 '리사이클, 업사이클, 뉴사이클'이라는 3개 유형으로 나누어 살펴본다. 이를 통해 환경조형물이 예술적 가치뿐만 아니라 마을흔적보전이라는 사회적 역사적 문화적 가치를 담아냄으로서 도시재생이 가지고 있는 목표를 실현하는 중요한 요소가 될 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

The global fashion industry produces significant carbon emission and micro-plastics in oceans. Studies on sustainable design methods as such environmental issues in fashion are becoming intensely problematic. This study conducted a case study on 100 upcycle fashion brands to propose strategical upcycle fashion designs to compete in a sustainable fashion market. A literature review indicated that 3 types of textile wastes are generated as upcycling materials: post-producer, pre-consumer and post-consumer. Wastes are categorized together with 3 types of techniques: redesigning, reconstruction and handcrafting. This research derived 7 types of upcycle fashion designs that have the following features: to make luxury upcycle fashion products, to make sustainable grunge looks, to re-evaluate deadstocks, to recover vintage clothes, to convert waste into craft-arts, to offer solutions for damaged products, and to make zero-waste small fabric waste. The study results show that key drivers in the upcycle fashion design are the redesignability of materials and technique-related costs. This study implies that adopting appropriate design features can be a useful strategy for designers. New technologies will solve current problems and encourage them to design products in a new circular value system.
