Reducing waste in a knit garment

factory can have significant

benefits in terms of cost savings,
improved efficiency and a more
sustainable business operation.
Conduct a waste audit
Understand what kind of waste is being generated and in what
quantities. This will help you identify areas for improvement.
Implement a just-in-
time (JIT) system
JIT aims to reduce waste by only producing what is
needed when it is needed, rather than overproducing
and storing excess inventory.
Implement lean
production
Lean production principles aim to minimize waste and
improve efficiency by reducing unnecessary steps in the
production process.
Use recycled
materials
Consider using recycled materials for packaging and other
non-core components of the garment.
Reuse scraps
Implement processes to minimize scraps and find
ways to reuse scraps in new products.
Reduce water and
energy usage
Implement energy-saving practices such as using
energy-efficient light bulbs and reducing water usage
during the dyeing and washing process.
Provide training and
education
Provide training and education to employees on the
importance of reducing waste and best practices for
waste reduction.
Monitor and measure
progress
Regularly monitor and measure waste levels to
assess the success of your efforts and identify areas
for further improvement.
