As feedstock, the term connotes these materials are bottleneck assets and are required to produce other products. The term raw material denotes materials in unprocessed or minimally processed states such as raw latex , crude oil , cotton , coal , raw biomass , iron ore , plastic , air , logs , and water . The term secondary raw material denotes waste material which has been recycled and injected back into use as productive material. Supply chains typically begin with
