Textile waste is bought by fibre recyclers, nonwoven and insulation producers, wiping-cloth makers, yarn spinners and traders who supply them. Pre-consumer waste from production (cutting scraps, yarn, deadstock fabric) is the easiest to sell.
Buyers decide almost entirely on the description. The price depends on the fibre composition (100% cotton, polyester, blends), colour sorting, whether the material is clean and free of prints or coatings, the form (offcuts, rolls, yarn on cones, garments) and the volume. Mixed, wet or dirty textiles are worth little.
Before you offer it:
- sort by composition and, where possible, by colour;
- keep it dry and pressed in bales of a known weight;
- state whether it is pre- or post-consumer and add the composition from your fabric specifications.
