The size of the bubbles is proportional to the value of the energy costs in uSD per kg of yarn.

different ranking in different countries.
The lower the wage costs, the greaterthe importance of energy consumption
can be. This is illustrated by the
production costs collected from across
the world by the International Textile
Manufacturers Federation (ITMF).
