With a huge increase in demand for apparel, clothing brands have accelerated their production capacities, resulting in enormous quantities of textile waste being generated in the factory. This is called Pre-Consumer Textile waste (PCT waste), and usually ends up in landfills, or with informal recyclers who run highly inefficient and inhumane operations.
This is where MuddleArt steps in and procures the PCT waste from the factories. Using our specialised methods, we segregate it into market-ready categories. These are then sold directly to our customers - small and medium enterprises like recyclers and small-time apparel manufacturers.
Instead of ending up in landfills, the waste is given a new life, creating a circular economy. Our operations are ethical, transparent and technology-enabled. In the last 4 years, MuddleArt has processed 7000 metric tons of textile waste with our unique business model by bridging gaps of circularity in the value chain.
