Jhoot refers to textile waste generated by Bangladesh's large garment manufacturing sector, including waste cotton fabric, cotton rags, and yarn waste, which is collected and exported for recycling.

Bay X Bengal lists verified textile recycling and jhoot exporters in Bangladesh sourced from the EPB registry, with direct contact details and compliance data where available.

Buyers of jhoot generally specify fibre content, colour sorting and cleanliness, because these decide whether the material is spun, garnetted or used for wiping cloths. Ask each exporter how the waste is sorted and packed, as it is typically baled.
