Abstract
The idiom ‟One man's trash is another man's treasure” couldn't be more true than in upcycling, which embodies the concept that what one person considers worthless, another considers valuable. Many genres of artistic expression have long found value in what society discards. Artists, and as an extension, designers, are particularly gifted in finding value in what others devalue. In the case of pre consumer waste, the concept of repurposing trash is simply interpreted at an industrial level, through the waste created during production.
