I have no idea what نفائي means, really. I just made it up. ;) I was hoping a native speaker might be able to improve on it. The English original is odd; I'm not entirely sure what it means and why they chose those terms. I think it means something like "canvas that is intended to be waste, i.e. only used during construction, then discarded."

maybe something like qawaam mu'aqqat li-nasj? I think you're going to need a descriptive semantic equivalent rather than a translation.

Hmm, this is a tough one. An American would not understand "waste canvas", but could google it. That's probably not the case for your readers; would they understand "kanva mu'aqqatah?" I would try to include something suggesting "loom", "matrix", or "armature", since that's the function of the waste canvas. kanva mu'aqqatah ka-minwaal? Or minwaal kanvasiy mu'aqqatah? In any case, I think you need a phrase that explains the concept. Hope that helps.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Excuse me, Sir. What do you mean by نفائي ?

Asker: Do you mean مصنوع من النفايات ?

Asker: Your guess is perfectly right, but the difficulty is in finding Aradic equivalent. Thank you, sir!

Asker: Thanks for your useful link, input and suggestion. I agree with you. The word "waste" describes the canvas status after being removed, so any translation of the word into Arabic would indicate that the canvas is a waste itself or being in a bad condition. Hence I'll resort to use an adjective that refers to the real purpose & usage of this type of canvas regardless of the word waste used in the source expression. I suggest "كنفا مؤقتة" canva mu'aqqatah. What do you think?

Asker: Thank you, sir!
