Residues of starch manufacture, similar residues; beet-pulp, bagasse and other waste of sugar manufacture, brewing or distilling dregs and waste, whether or not in the form of pellets
In plain English
This category covers leftover materials from making starch, as well as waste products from sugar production and brewing or distilling. These items may be processed into pellet form without changing their classification. The specific types of waste are separated based on their origin: whether they come from starch processing, sugar manufacturing, or alcohol production facilities.
