Cotton Textile Processing always produces textile "waste". Much of this waste contains reclaimable fibers which can be used in the same, or another, textile processing plant. This reclaimation process leaves a much lower grade of waste which is unusable in textile processing. The disposal of this waste can present expensive and ecologically-sensitive problems. The process of briquetting can put this waste in a much more easily handled form and in some cases put it in a which has beneficial secondary uses.
