Orange off-cuts
Orange Fiber is one such operation.

Orange Fiber has recently created a capsule collection of garments with the leading Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo.
From Orange Fiber
Orange Fiber fabrics are formed from a silk-like cellulose yarn that can blend with other materials. When used in its purest form, the resulting 100% citrus textile features a soft and silky hand-feel, lightweight, and can be opaque or shiny according to production needs.
