    How we built this list

    We searched IQFluence for public Instagram creators connected with Upcycling. To qualify, a profile needed a clear subject signal in its bio, platform category or repeated recent content, together with enough public data for comparison.

    We reviewed public posts from the last 30 days. When that period contained fewer than 3 analyzable posts, we extended the review window to 90 days. Profiles still below that sample after the extension were excluded. A single incidental keyword mention did not count as topic evidence.

    We examined 180 profiles; 65 met the criteria. This page shows 20 of them, ordered by follower count. Relevance decides who qualifies, not the order.

    Topic:
    Upcycling
    Content review rule:
    30 days, extended to 90 days for sparse profiles
