30 RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

31 Sourcing Cotton The price of fiber can account for 60%-75% of the cost of manufacturing a pound of yarn. Once the cover of a bale is removed, there is essentially no way to determine the origin of the cotton or the type of production method used to grow the cotton (e.g., organically-produced cotton). Every bale of U.S. cotton has a unique bale identification number assigned to it. Cotton is traceable to the gin that processed it.
