Material
Materials are physical substances used as inputs to production or manufacturing. Materials range from man made synthetics such as many plastics to natural materials such as copper or wood.
Raw materials, materials in their unaltered, natural state, are first extracted or harvested from the earth and divided into a form that can be easily transported and stored. The raw materials are then processed to produce "semi-finished materials". These can be input into a new cycle of production and finishing processes to create "finished materials", ready for distribution and consumption.
