Among the significant consequences are the rising costs of treating and disposing of excessive amounts of waste. Proper management of the large amounts of waste generated by the confection industry is of high importance to the good of society. Solving the problem of textile waste is of great importance for the garment production facilities in order to increase competitiveness, make additional profits and reduce disposal costs.
