Some Examples of Raw Materials
- Cotton
An example of a raw material is cotton, which is harvested from plants. Cotton can be processed into rope (also considered a raw material), which can then be woven into cloth, a semi-finished material. Cutting and sewing the fabric turns it into a garment, which is a finished product.
- Steel
Steel-making is another example – raw materials in the form of ore are mined, refined and processed into steel, a semi-finished material. Steel is then used as an input in many other industries to make finished products. Some materials rust.
