The story
Amman Craft Textiles is seven people and a cutting table. Like every workshop of its size, it was throwing away a third of the fabric it bought — the offcuts that are too small for a garment and too good for a bin.
A €22,000 grant funded a digital cutting plan that reduced the offcut in the first place, and the equipment to turn what is left into a second line of bags and homeware. The circular-production advice came with the money; so did the introduction to buyers who specifically want a recycled-content product.
Waste is down 30%, three export contracts are signed, and the second line now carries a quarter of turnover.
We used to pay to have our own fabric taken away. Now it is a product line.
