For apparel and textile suppliers, WasteWise turns factory waste data into a stage-by-stage material map, a benchmark gap report, and an exchange for recoverable leftovers.

Illustrative data for exploring how WasteWise works.
The band is the cloth, drawn at the mass still retained in it. What leaves the roll drops into the two columns underneath: average waste, and material held as excess inventory. Choose a stage to see its benchmark gap and the recovery move behind it.
Thickness is the mass still retained. Red columns are average waste. Hatched columns are excess inventory awaiting review.
Excess is a review signal; it does not automatically mean the material is eligible for recovery.
Multiplying the four stage rates gives 52% retained across the chain. The source report states 77%. WasteWise publishes the computed figure together with the gap, rather than the friendlier number.
| Stage | conversion | average consumption | average waste | excess inventory |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fibre to spinning | 89% | 124.1 kg | 57.5 kg | 26 kg |
| Spinning to fabric mfg | 81% | 110.4 kg | 2.5 kg | 7.5 kg |
| Fabric to wet processing | 91% | 124.4 kg | 18.8 kg | 14.8 kg |
| Wet processing to apparel | 80% | 161.5 kg | 11.8 kg | 7.7 kg |
The source report names spinning settings as a controllable loss point.

WasteWise uses a transparent screening formula. You can trace every result back to your inputs and the published stage benchmark.
Stage benchmark waste rate
57.5 / 124.1 = 46%
Appendix B reports average waste and average consumption for this stage.
Expected waste at benchmark
1,240 x 46% = 574.5 kg
Your monthly input is multiplied by the stage benchmark waste rate.
Above-benchmark waste
max(0, 610 - 574.5) = 35.5 kg
Only waste above the benchmark is counted as an avoidable-loss signal; values below zero become zero.
Recoverable material signal
35.5 + 260 = 295.5 kg
This combines above-benchmark waste with excess inventory for a recovery review.
Benchmark source: WasteWise report, Appendix B, Material Stream Map from 17 Bangladeshi textile factories.
Important limitation: This is a screening estimate, not a verified measurement, carbon claim or guaranteed sale.

Excess inventory plus above-benchmark waste in the illustrative data.

Stage benchmark + factory data
This is a screening result that points to where review and action should begin.

WasteWise focuses on solid material loss across textile production. It combines stage-level factory inputs, benchmark gaps, material type, quantity, condition and location.
