About cotton waste (including yarn waste and garnetted stock)

HS code 5202 covers a wide range of cotton waste materials, including yarn waste and garnetted stock. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile supply chain, as it provides a valuable source of raw materials for the production of various cotton-based products. The efficient management and utilization of cotton waste are essential for the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of the textile industry.

Production process

The main production techniques involved in the cotton waste industry include sorting, cleaning, and processing the waste materials. Sorting involves separating the waste into different grades and types, based on factors such as fiber length, color, and contamination levels. Cleaning processes, such as mechanical or chemical methods, are then used to remove impurities and prepare the waste for further processing. Garnetting, a mechanical process, is often employed to break down the waste into individual fibers, which can then be blended and spun into new yarns or used in other textile applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the cotton waste industry are, of course, the various forms of cotton waste, including yarn waste, fabric scraps, and other cotton-based materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as sorting machines, cleaning systems, and garnetting machines, to efficiently process the waste materials. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the operation of these production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the cotton waste industry are the processed and cleaned cotton fibers, which can be used in the production of 5205 Cotton yarn, not put up for retail sale, 5206 Cotton yarn, put up for retail sale, and other cotton-based textile products. The industry also generates byproducts, such as cotton dust and short fibers, which may be used in the production of 5601 (Wadding of textile materials and articles thereof; textile fibers, not exceeding 5 mm in length (flock), textile dust and mill neps).
