Cotton yarn

One kilogram of spun cotton yarn

This page shows what the product is made of and where each figure comes from. It does not show a death toll. The toll is calculated from this list of materials, and will be published only once it has a range and the model has passed its test on past years.

Spun cotton yarn. The register's cotton is seed cotton, and lint is 33% of it at India's ginning out-turn. Spinning waste is not in this record — the sources that give it combine it with weaving — so a kilogram of yarn carries a kilogram of lint, which is a floor.

What it is made of

Each line is one part of one kilogram of spun cotton yarn: how much of it goes in, how much had to be produced to get that much (some is wasted along the way), and where the figure comes from.

Down to raw materials

The whole chain worked out — everything one kilogram of spun cotton yarn needs, through every product in between, with all the waste along the way included.

Down to raw materials
Input Per item
Cotton 3.03 kg

An input marked “not in the register” is counted by weight but is not yet linked to any supply chain. Services such as transport appear as the euros, or tonnes carried a kilometre, that the list of materials gives them.

How much of it is known in detail

100% of this product’s weight is listed in detail in its own list of materials.

Its whole chain uses 3.03 kg of materials, waste included. 100% of that is raw materials the model knows — the part it can trace harm to — 0% is inputs not yet on the list, and 0% is an openly stated remainder.

In the table of what industries buy from each other it belongs to “Manufacture of textiles, wearing apparel, leather and related products” (FIGARO industry C13-15).

The number this page does not show

The harm in this chain is not shown.

The model passes the harm counted where each raw material is produced on to the products that use it. That number is a count of people from a recorded calculation, with no range yet, and nothing of that kind is published before the model passes its test on past years. What this page can show without it is how the product is built: what it is made of, and where each piece of that knowledge comes from.
