Abstract	This study investigates using cotton waste fibers to produce low-cost handloom textiles. By examining technical parameters and production processes, it highlights the economic and environmental benefits of recycling cotton waste, supporting sustainable textile production, waste reduction, and traditional handloom weaving. The research finds that recycled cotton fibers maintain quality and durability, significantly reducing water and energy consumption compared to virgin cotton. This offers economic advantages for small-scale handloom producers by lowering material costs. Overall, the study suggests that recycled cotton waste can create high-quality handloom fabrics, promoting sustainable practices and cost-effective solutions. This supports a circular economy by repurposing waste into valuable products, extending textile materials' lifespan, and minimizing environmental pollution. The study concludes that using cotton waste for handloom production reduces textile waste, enhances sustainability, and economically benefits small-scale producers.
