<p>The development of efficient and sustainable upcycling methods has gained significant attention in recent years due to environmental and economic benefits. In this study, we present a novel upcycling approach that is not only simple and straightforward but also highly economical and effective. Our method involves utilizing the melting points of materials to achieve thermal compression, resulting in materials with enhanced mechanical strength and durability. Comprehensive analysis and testing demonstrate that this upcycling process provides an innovative method for utilizing fabric materials. This innovative approach offers a practical solution for waste management, contributing to both environmental sustainability and economic efficiency.</p> Graphical abstract <p></p>
