Excess material inevitably finds its way to discarded remnants. This includes fabric scraps from garment construction, trimmings from tailoring processes, and offcuts generated during the manufacturing of textiles. For example, during the production of a dress, leftover fabric not used in the final design is typically disposed of.
Minimizing this loss offers substantial economic and environmental advantages. Reducing material waste decreases manufacturing costs by optimizing resource utilization. It also lessens the environmental burden associated with disposal and the production of new materials, contributing to a more sustainable industrial practice. Historically, methods for reusing or repurposing such material have been sought after to reduce costs.
