The production of cotton and cotton yarn, textile manufacturing, distribution of the t-shirt, and ultimately recycling are the key components of the cotton textile industry.

The longer fibers are processed by a carding machine that combs and aligns the fibers into a long, soft rope called a sliver. The sliver is taken to a spinning frame to be spun into thread. The machine draws out individual cotton fibers from the…
