Manildra Starch and Ethanol factory, Bomaderry, New South Wales, Australia
This factory has been run by the same family for 40 years and employs 200 plus people in converting cereal grains into starch, gluten protein and ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol). Manildra has it's own wheat factory in Narrandera, north west NSW, and freights grain to the factory by rail.
The grain is processed to separate the starch from the gluten. Starch is used for washing, cooking and paper manufacture - there's a paper mill nearby. Gluten is used for bread and pizzas (US is the biggest market - some product is shipped under the brand 'Baker's Delight') and for formenting Ethanol.
Ethanol which is a 100% alcohol is used in liquor, as a pharmaceutical alcohol in hospitals, and increasingly, as a 10% petrol additive. The factory cannot keep up with the demand for ethanol and will be spending AU$100 million on an expansion over the next 12 months.

Eady Shoe Factory
E.W. Eady began making shoes in Otsego in 1903, his factory occupying a site on Helen Avenue. Business thrived and by 1910, a new three-story factory was added to the plant. This building still exists today on Helen Ave. The factory made and shipped thousands of pairs of shoes every week throughout the Midwest and nearly one-third of Eady’s employees were women. The business survived until effects of the Great Depression forced its closure in 1935.

The art of jade carving and polishing was already well developed some 3,000 years ago in the Zhou and Shang dynasties. With its bright and pure luster, jade has always been considered by the Chinese to be a treasure of tremendous value. There is a famous story from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) that describes the State of Qin' s offer of 15 cities for a ceremonial jade disk known as the "Bi of the He Clan."
To create an object from a piece of raw material, the craftsperson follows these steps: 1) Select the stone (jadeite, coral, agate, or crystal), taking into consideration size, shape, grain, color and luster. 2) Design a pattern to be sketched onto the surface. 3) Rub away the stone with a special tool and diamond paste until the desired shape emerges. When the design follows the nature of the original piece, the true image will come to life. 4) Polish the product until it shines.
The Beijing Jade ware Factory, founded in 1958 with only 200 workers, now employs over 2,700. In the past four decades it has turned out a wide range of exquisite jade objects for sale around the city.

I didn't notice this factory until just the other day because I never move the curtains off the side panel of my window. I opened the panel and noticed that this dirty, spewing factory is just about two miles from campus.
