Reply to comment by rodrigkn in Sewage sludge and other waste products could be turned into industrial feedstock that cuts down on waste and carbon emissions by mutherhrg

Do you even know what industrial feedstock even means?

lol. they don't.

for the benefit of reddit's soylent-green-fearing constituency i'll post a simple google definition:

"Industrial feedstocks are raw materials used to make industrial products"

so. think gaskets and road paving products. not animal feed.

To be fair, feedstock, while a 100% accurate term, is misleading because every reader thinks it's related to the term "foodstock" which of course it isn't.

agreed.

but it also outs the people that didn't read the article because it says right under the headline: "Sewage sludge used as feedstock to make methanol"
