What happens to the residue of the wool samples tested by AWTA Ltd?

In requesting a test, clients acknowledge that AWTA Ltd may dispose of any sample material remaining after testing. Normally AWTA Ltd grades and sells residual wool sample material to offset testing fees.

For specific purposes, such as research programs, specific samples can be retained or sold.
