Zero-waste (in relation to clothing)

A new term (to me) in the Urban supplement of the Straits Times today. Zero-waste. According to the article - "Apparel industry professionals say that about 15 to 20 per cent of the fabric used to produce clothing winds up in landfills because it is cheaper to dump the scraps than to recycle them."

Zero-waste design aims to minimise fabric wastage when cutting garment patterns.
