What are the inputs outputs and processes involved in the manufacturing of a cotton shirt?

In the manufacturing of a cotton shirt, the primary inputs include raw cotton fibers, dyes, thread, and labor. The main processes involve spinning the cotton fibers into yarn, weaving or knitting the yarn into fabric, dyeing and finishing the fabric, cutting it into shirt patterns, and finally sewing the pieces together. The outputs are the finished cotton shirts, as well as any waste materials produced during the manufacturing process. Additionally, there may be by-products such as cotton lint and scraps that can be recycled or repurposed.


What is the raw material used for cotton?

Cotton comes from the cotton plant. The seeds of the cotton plant are contained in a capsule called a boll, each seed surrounded by fibres of two types. These fibres are are removed by a process called ginning. At the first ginning the longer fibres, called staples, are removed and these are twisted together to form yarn for making thread and weaving into high quality textiles. At the second ginning the shorter fibres, called linters, are removed, and these are woven into lower quality textiles including the Lint. The commercial species of cotton plant are G. hirsutum (90% of world production)
