Cotton
Cotton waste is the collection of byproducts produced throughout the textile manufacturing process, including spinning, weaving, knitting, and garment production. This waste can take various forms, such as lint, yarn ends, fabric trimmings, and rejected or unused cotton materials. While traditionally considered a disposal challenge, cotton waste is increasingly recognized as a valuable resource due to its potential for recycling and reuse in the production of items like paper, insulation, and regenerated yarn. By repurposing cotton waste, the textile industry can reduce its environmental footprint, minimize landfill use, and promote more sustainable manufacturing practices.
