Circularity and Waste
You weigh one fleece order from the cutting table to the skip and price it at every grade. You see what your offcut is worth, and who decides. You see why most recycling is downcycling, and how a trim nobody costed can bar a whole load. You see what the fix costs and who ends up holding the value. And why the biggest waste in the factory is cloth that was never cut.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a certificate and say exactly what it does and does not cover, assemble the evidence chain behind a fibre claim, and tell a buyer honestly which of their asks you can prove today and which you cannot.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a circularity file for one order. You weigh and grade the waste stream. You price a bin plan against a sorting plan. You read three end-of-life routes as input specifications. You weigh the garment against a purity spec and cost every failing line. You price a redesign against FOB, retail and margin. You cost a take-back proposal per saleable unit. And you price a fabric call-off clause.
