I am talking about things like paper pulp waste, like at my work. We make paper, some of it is glass based, however a large quantity is cellulose based. Quite a bit of the paper that doesn't meet spec is used as "broke", or recycled into the system again.The paper that isn't able to be put back into the system is disposed of by incineration at a plant.

Other sources of cellulose include the trees that they ground up near my home during the apocalypse that happened last Friday (Ice Storm). I have never seen, nor have my parents who have lived here almost their entire lives, the amount of downed trees in the area. They are still working on it and, some areas of NH are going to be without power until 2009.
I hope I clarified my previous statement of "Wood Waste".
