A raw material or feedstock is the basic material from which a good product is manufactured or made, frequently used with an extended meaning.[1] For example, the term is used to denote material that came from nature and is in an unprocessed or minimally processed state; e.g., raw latex, iron ore, logs, crude oil, air or seawater. The use of raw material by non-human species includes twigs and found objects as used by birds to make nests.
