Pre-Consumer Material
Material diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. Excluded is the reutilization of materials such as rework, regrind or scrap generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated.For example , Pre-consumer recycled polyester comes from polyester production discards and PET plastic bottles that, due to production failures, cannot be used in the industry and are recycled to produce recycled fibres for the textile industry or other uses.
