Non-virgin textiles refer to materials that have been previously used or processed, rather than being freshly sourced from raw, natural resources. These textiles include post-consumer waste like second-hand garments, discarded garments or industrial offcuts, and pre-consumer waste such as excess production materials and deadstocks. 

Pre-consumer waste refers to materials that are discarded during the manufacturing and production process before the product reaches the consumer. This includes surplus materials, production scraps, and defective items that are removed from the production line and not used in the final consumer products.

Post-consumer waste refers to materials that have been used and discarded by consumers. This includes items like used clothing, household textiles, and other fabric-based products that are no longer needed by their original owners and can be recycled or repurposed.

Deadstock fabrics refer to unused textiles left over from mills, manufacturers, or other fashion production processes. These materials, often surplus or discontinued, have never been sold to the public and are utilized by us to reduce waste and avoid them ending up in landfills.

"Non-fashion textiles" refers to previously used or discarded household and industrial textile items, such as bedsheets and towels. 

Deadstock garments refer to new, unsold clothing that is left over from manufacturers or retailers. These items have never been worn by consumers and can accumulate as excess inventory due to overproduction, canceled orders, or seasonal changes.

Second hand refers to garments, that have been previously owned and used by someone else. These items are often resold or donated, providing an opportunity for reuse and extending the lifecycle of the products, thereby contributing to a more sustainable consumption pattern.
