Process of transforming waste material into useful material

A process for transforming waste material into useful material, the process comprising steps of:

• (a) providing a quantity of waste material;
• (b) pre-shredding the waste material into pre-shredded waste material having a first maximum piece size;
• (c) processing the pre-shredded waste material to provide a processed pre-shredded waste material, the processing step including:
• (c)(1) removing at least a portion of any ferrous materials from the pre-shredded waste material;
• (c)(2) separating the pre-shredded waste material into a smaller piece stream and larger piece stream with a primary separator;
• (c)(3) downstream of the primary separator separating at least a portion of the larger piece stream with a 2D/3D separator into a stream of substantially two-dimensional pieces and a stream of substantially three-dimensional pieces;
• (c)(4) downstream of the 2D/3D separator, removing at least one further selected material component from the stream of substantially three-dimensional pieces;
• (d) secondarily shredding the processed pre-shredded waste material into a secondarily shredded waste material having a second maximum piece size smaller than the first maximum piece size;
• and
• (e) hydrolyzing the secondarily shredded waste material under pressure greater than ambient pressure to create an aggregate cellulose pulp.
