01 Feedstock
Ore, monomer, fibre, mineral or scrap that can legally become Baumwolle.
Baumwolle · Samenhaar-Cellulose der Industriellen Revolution.
Making Baumwolle is a chain: feedstock, conversion (Indus / New World domestication; mill 18th c.), forming, heat, finish, install.

Ore, monomer, fibre, mineral or scrap that can legally become Baumwolle.
Indus / New World domestication; mill 18th c.
Cast, spin, weave, sinter, foam, laminate or coat — the step that sets anisotropy.
Temper, vulcanise, calcine or dry: skip it and the datasheet is fiction.
Coatings, sizings, facers, galvanizing, anodising, painting.
Fasteners, adhesives, DFT, compression, dryness — site quality is a material property.
Virgin route around India / Americas / Lancashire.
Recycling exists but quality or energy often disappoints.
High-spec grades leave the commodity mill.
Coatings, sprays, casts — the factory is sometimes a jobsite.
Feedstock to installed product.
Energy in, class out.
Melting/softening chars ~150 °C+; conductivity low (textile still air).
Moisture, UV, chlorides, alkalis or oxygen — pick the one that actually kills Baumwolle.
Fire class combustible fibre (treatments vary) is a starting letter, not a wall rating.
Process energy and scrap quality belong in the carbon passport, not in a footnote.
Gekräuseltes Keratin, das Stillluft hält — Anzug, Teppich, ehrlicherer Brandfall.
