History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 423930-15 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The "Rags (Wholesale)" industry has a long history dating back to the 19th century when the demand for textile waste increased due to the growth of the textile industry. During World War I, the demand for rags increased as they were used to make bandages and other medical supplies. In the 1920s, the industry saw a shift towards the use of synthetic fibers, which led to a decline in the demand for rags. However, during World War II, the demand for rags increased again as they were used to make uniforms and other military supplies. In recent history, the industry has seen a decline in demand due to the increased use of disposable products and the growth of the recycling industry. In the United States, the industry has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a decrease in demand for rags from industries such as hospitality and automotive.
