Moving from industrial wastes to coproducts
Article Abstract:
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has recognized that certain residual waste products can be used to create coproducts. Coproducts are a class of materials that are equivalent to and used in place of an intentionally manufactured product or produced raw material. The public or the environment is hardly put to any greater risk by using coproducts. A coproduct is unprocessed and the materials out of which coproducts are created are exempted from residual waste regulations. The generator of the waste determines if a waste is a coproduct.

Economics and impacts of ethanol manufacture: Coproducts are the key
Article Abstract:
Corn grain is most heavily utilized for producing industrial ethanol because it can be readily accomplished at a relatively low cost compared to other biomass sources. A special report from USDA Research laboratory in South Dakota examining the growing challenge and opportunities in the production of ethanol from corn grain is presented.
