The article says that 44% loss is in pre-production, specifically the manufacturing of the yarn. Long before the textile is woven, let alone cut.

- gus_massa 4mo agoI'k not sure about the textile industry, but I visited a sugar factory a long time ago. They separate the fiber in the sugar cane and a part is used to make paper and another part is burned to make heat and electricity to power the factory. They don't just dump the leftovers. I expect a similar redirection of the leftovers in the textile industry.
