Cotton Waste

Waste cotton from either the textile industry or individual consumers is used to make recycled cotton. A machine will first shred the items into smaller pieces after which they will be further processed into the crude fibre. Initially, the items will be sorted according to their kind and colour. After then, it may be remade into yarn and used in the production of entirely another item.

Cotton scraps are put to use as a raw material in the production of khadi table runners, napkins, and table cloths, as well as throws and pillow coverings. The cotton fibre that is not used in the production of cotton is where waste cotton originates.

Chlorine, poisonous dyes, pesticides, and other chemicals that are utilised in the processing of the crop into fibre and clothes may be found in the wastewater that runs off during manufacturing. These contaminants make their way into water systems such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands, as well as subterranean aquifers, and cause contamination there.

Throughout the months of Dec 21 through Nov 22, the price of cotton waste cloth goods ranges between 32 and 40 rupees per kg.
