This episode is a conversation Estonian based sustainable designer Reet Aus. Reet is not only the pioneer of an in industrial upcycling method but she is a researcher, environmentalist, theater and film artist who has been experimenting with recycling in fashion and costume design since 2005.
Our conversation highlights the valuable role of upcycling as a design method and how it came to inspire the industrial recycling system she developed. But Reet’s knowledge and experience of upcycling reaches far beyond the traditional use of this method. She continues to explore and expand upon the concepts of upcycling by creating actionable solutions that are rethinking and changing they way we consider waste and design systems in our environment.
For more information on our guest:

She is a pioneer in the field of industrial upcycling for fashion, and has developed the UPMADE® certification, in order to pass on her knowledge to brands and factories.
Reet’s guiding mission in life is to save the fashion industry from itself, and to show that there is a way of ending the throwaway culture that causes so much waste and destruction around the world, reducing the environmental footprint of the industry she loves.
