What's the difference between pre-consumer and post-consumer waste?

Preconsumer waste, also known as post industrial waste, is generally thought of as material diverted from the waste stream during a manufacturing process.

Pre-consumer scrap is typically scrap that comes from the production process and has never been used before it is remelted again.

Pre-consumer waste comes from any excess material produced during the production of yarn, fabrics and textile products, e.g. selvage from weaving and fabric remnants from factory cutting rooms.
