Paper is a thin, flexible material typically made in sheets from materials like rags, wood, and plastic. Plastics are a collection of materials, both synthetic and natural, that can be molded while soft and then hardened to maintain their desired shape. Rubber is a material that can be made stretchy by coagulating the milky juice of various tropical plants. Wood refers to the majority of the stems, branches, and roots of trees and shrubs, primarily composed of a hard fibrous substance called xylem found beneath the bark. Textile is a colloquial term for any fabric or product created through knitting, felting, or weaving.
The primary categories encompass apparel and leather products, furniture, general manufactured goods, paper products, plastics and rubber products, printing and related support activities, textile and wood products. Leather and allied product manufacturers are involved in the process of tanning or curing hides and then crafting them into finished products.
