INDUSTRIAL
UPCYCLING
AusDesign works to
reduce environmental
burden through design
and production.
In 2012 AusDesign Ltd. has partnered with one
of the biggest garment manufacturers in
Bangladesh – Beximco – and has developed a
system for using production leftovers in-house.
The industrial upcycling methodology was
originally created on the years-long work of
PhD Reet Aus
Leftovers from conventional
mass-production:
Cutting
leftovers
Roll
ends
Over-
production
% of all fabric used per one product-line

CASE STUDY No1

Upcycled dress:
3200 litres / 82% of water and
6,6 kWh / 90% energy saved,
1708 g / 84% less CO2 created.

per item.
52% of waste reduction possible.

CASE STUDY No 4
saves 91% water & 86% energy
compared to a regular shirt.
That equals to
3590 liters of water and
3,48 kWh of energy per shirt,
avoiding 1,83kg of CO2e emissions.
All 23000 Song Festival Up-shirts
combined save:
82 570 000 liters of water
80 040 kWh of energy,
avoiding 41989 kg of CO2e.

Order qyantity: 28250 pieces
Fabric production: 36500 yards
Material: Tencel
Energy: 4,61 kWh or 89% less
Water: 0,06 m3 or 10% less
CO2: saving 1,16 kg of CO2e
Ozone washed with no
added chemicals
Predictability based on the one year research
Production leftovers ranging
from 5-40%. On the average
17% per order that we can
reduce to 8,6%.
This means a 52% waste
reduction!
In cooperation with
Stockholm Environment
Institute in Tallinn and
Estonian Academy of Arts,
AusDesign Ltd. will ensure
that the development
process is reliable and
transparent and aimed for a
genuine improvement.
