The technique of processing cutting orders and planning economic cutting lays are of utmost importance for better utilization of materials and for increasing the efficiency of cutting process.
In this paper, the influence of the level of applied technology on the percentage of generated textile waste has been analyzed in two representative clothing manufacturing companies. The aim of this work is to provide additional information regarding the planning of cutting orders, generated textile waste and existing condition of utilization of textile materials in Macedonian apparel industry.
