A pure raw material is one that loses no weight in manufacturing and, because of this, the processing point can be anywhere near the raw material source and the market. Weight-losing products lose weight during processing; the processing point should be near their source in order to avoid payment of unnecessary transportation charges. Weight-gaining products gain weight during processing; the processing point should be close to the market.
