Upcycling of second hand textile : To develop a new value chain based on leftover materials (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte Rapportens syften var att undersöka möjligheter för att ta fram en upcyclingskollektion i Sverige, där materialet är överbliven och obrukad andrahandstextil som Human Bridge samlat in.

Metod En kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med induktiv forskningsprocess har använts som metodansats. Den kvalitativa forskningen är mer flexibel och mindre strukturerad än den kvantitativa. Utöver litteraturstudier är rapporten huvudsakligen baserad på en semistrukturerad intervju med personal från Human bridge. För att analysera den insamlade datan användes Business Model Canvas och SWOT-analys.

Resultat Resultatet visar att det finns potential för en upcyclingskollektion, men även en del risker. Exempelvis ser vi att det finns en kunskapsbrist när det gäller textil inom organisationen men att det inte råder brist på upcyclingsmaterial.

Originalitet/Värde I motsats till majoriteten av forskning vi kunnat hitta, så fokuserar denna rapport på upcycling som en affärsmodell istället för som en designstrategi. 

Abstract [en]

Purpose The purpose of the report was to investigate possibilities for producing an upcycling collection in Sweden, where the material is leftover second hand textiles collected by Human Bridge.

Method A qualitative research strategy with an inductive research process has been used as a methodological approach. Qualitative research is more flexible and less structured than quantitative research. In addition to literature studies, the report is mainly based on a semi-structured interview with staff from Human bridge. Business Model Canvas and SWOT-analysis were used to analyze the collected data.

Results The results show that there is potential for an upcycling collection, but also some risks. For example, we see that there is a lack of knowledge regarding textiles within the organization, but that there is no shortage of upcycling materials.

Value In contrast to the majority of research we have been able to find, this report focuses on upcycling as a business model instead of as a design strategy.
