Cotton
Cotton ginning separates fiber from seed, and both streams inherit the measured performance of the originating field through mass balance.
01 · Byproducts & co-products
One measured origin. Many certified downstream products.
Verified performance measured at the cotton supply shed carries via mass balance into every co-product processed from it — each one eligible for its own Carbon Inventory Certificate.
01
Cotton lint (fiber)
The primary textile fiber, carrying the field's measured intensity to the spinner or manufacturer.
02
Cottonseed oil
Extracted from ginned seed, used in food applications, inheriting verified performance.
03
Cottonseed meal
A protein-rich feed co-product, separately attributable via mass balance.
04
Cotton gin trash
Ginning residue increasingly valued as feedstock, carrying its own attributed intensity.
05
Cottonseed hulls
A fibrous feed and bedding co-product separated during crushing, attributable via mass balance.
Frequently asked
Cotton, answered.
Can a Carbon Inventory Certificate attach to cotton byproducts?
Yes. Verified performance measured at the origin cotton supply carries via mass balance into every co-product — Cotton lint (fiber), Cottonseed oil, Cottonseed meal, and more — so each byproduct buyer can retire a certificate against their own purchase.
Is cotton available through the marketplace today?
Cotton supply is enrolling on the rails today, with certificates issuing as programs come online. Request early access to the marketplace and we’ll match you with cotton supply as it’s ready.
