Cotton (clothing fabric production)

The emission factor of a product indicates either the emissions of the life cycle (cradle-to-grave) or the emissions during manufacture (cradle-to-gate) of the product. The choice of the correct emission factor depends on the calculation that is being made. For example, the cradle-to-gate emission factor of a product is used in an industrial company's scope 3 calculations when calculating emissions from the purchase of raw materials. Also, the carbon footprint of a product often only includes the life cycle stages from cradle-to-gate. This is referred to as a partial carbon footprint.

On the OpenCO2.net platform, you can use our standard-based carbon footprint calculators and use this emission factor as input for emission calculations. As a paying customer, you get access to an extensive emissions database with more comprehensive features.

In addition to the information presented here, you can find more information about the type of emission (Fossil / Biogenic / Stored carbon /Carbon neutral), the life cycle stages included in the emission factor (Cradle-to-Grave / Cradle-to-Gate / Production phase / Use phase) and reliability of the emission factor (e.g. whether the emission factor has been verified by an independent third party) and other relevant information needed for the emission calculation. You can also perform unit conversions, add your own emission factors to the system and make your own list of your most used emission factors.
