SNIP
Textile waste under the control of the producer, brand, or retailer.
DISCOVER HOW IT WORKSWhat challenge does SNIP solve?
Manufacturers and fashion brands generate cutting waste across hundreds of CMT factories worldwide; a material fraction that too often ends up in informal channels. Cutting waste not properly segregated or that is not of the highest quality often ends up in uncontrolled landfills.
Without traceability from the source:
- Brands cannot verify if their waste has been properly managed
- Recyclers cannot trust their input recovered materials.
- Reporting relies on estimates rather than verified data.
But traceability is only part of the challenge. The real difficulty lies in collecting, segregating, consolidating and managing waste consistently across hundreds of factories and multiple countries.
More than software
Most traceability solutions stop at the dashboard.
SNIP combines digital traceability with the operational infrastructure required to make textile waste management work in practice:
How it works
SNIP operates as part of a complete collection and traceability infrastructure.
Collection
Material is identified and segregated directly where it is generated.
Infrastructure
Collection points, reverse logistics, baling centres and consolidation hubs are deployed close to manufacturing clusters.
Without physical infrastructure, waste cannot be managed efficiently or economically.
Training and Implementation on the ground
Every actor in the chain is trained. Wastex keeps a controlling team in the countries where SNIP is implemented.
Traceability depends on operational discipline, not software alone.
Traceability
Every batch receives a unique identity linked to its weight, composition, colour and origin.
Every movement is recorded and verified.
Management
All data is available through Integer, Wastex’s live operational platform.
Brands, manufacturers, recyclers and operators share a single source of truth.
Built for implementation
SNIP is not a SaaS platform.
It is a deployment model.
A combination of infrastructure, operations and technology designed specifically for textile waste management.
Today, SNIP operates across more than 250 factories, supporting the traceability and management of thousands of tonnes of textile waste every year.
