paper waste/scrap
Normally "recortes" would refer to cuttings or clippings from a newspaper, but here they are clearly referring to waste left from the production process. I think "waste" or "scrap" fit well here.

cuttings
Yo diría cuttings . Trimming se refiere más a recortar dando forma ( recortes de artículos en un diario) en cuanto a scraps se refiere más a virutas, o sea recortes diminutos...

I think you are absolutely right. It appears to be the handling of the waste paper. Thanks!
