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 production of cotton waste materials involves a series of processes, including the collection, sorting, and processing of various cotton-based waste streams. This may include the recycling of yarn waste, the garnetting of cotton fibers, and the processing of other cotton-based waste products. These techniques aim to recover and repurpose the valuable cotton fibers, ensuring that they can be reintroduced into the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the cotton waste industry include the collection and sourcing of various cotton-based waste materials, such as yarn waste, fabric scraps, and garnetted stock. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as garnetting machines and sorting systems, are necessary for the efficient processing and preparation of the cotton waste for further use.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the cotton waste industry are the recovered and processed cotton fibers, which can be used as raw materials for the production of a wide range of cotton-based products, including 5201 Cotton, not carded or combed, 5203 Cotton, carded or combed, and various textile products. The efficient utilization of cotton waste helps to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and contribute to the overall sustainability of the textile industry.
