A method comprising:

• a first shredding step comprising shredding waste comprising a mixture of cellulosic materials, plastic, and other waste, the other waste comprising at least one of:
• organic materials including food waste, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, glass, textiles and other inert materials;
• wherein shredding comprises reducing a size of the waste to particle sizes ranging between 0.088 mm and 254 mm;
• adding pre-sorted cellulosic materials to the mixture prior to the first shredding step to reduce the moisture percentage of the mixture to less than 15%;
• sorting, separating, air classifying, and sizing the shredded waste;
• removing, from the waste shredded in the first shredding step, at least a portion of the other waste resulting in a blended mass of 70.0% to 99.7% cellulosic materials and plastic;
• a second shredding step comprising shredding the blended mass;
• and forming the shredded blended mass into a manufacturing product.
