Özet

Sustainable design is considered an important tool in combating environmental problems. In this article, biomaterial and upcycling approaches that have the potential to encourage societies and industries to design more responsibly, as well as the production of environmentally sensitive and sustainable products, are discussed. Therefore, the use of more innovative and effective methods such as biomaterials and upcycling in design is gaining importance. In this context, examples from different fields such as architecture, textile, industrial design, and studies conducted in the field of design and education will be given regarding the use of these methods. In the education, focusing on topics such as the use of biomaterials and upcycling, the responsibility of designers to design products that are not only aesthetic and functional but also environmentally responsible will be emphasized. As a result, it will be discussed with examples for designers, academics and industry professionals that they can become powerful tools in sustainable design.
