A waste management system, primarily intended to be for waste floating in water, though it can also be used on land. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is cryogenically frozen using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon and water may be recycled. The carbon may be used as fuel by the ship. Water may also be used by the ship or returned to the ocean in a non-toxic condition.

A coarse crusher includes a coarsely crushing unit configured to coarsely crush a sheet piece having an elongated shape, a hopper having a feed opening through which the sheet piece is fed to the coarsely crushing unit, the hopper being configured to feed the sheet piece putted into the hopper to the coarsely crushing unit through the feed opening, and a posture adjuster configured to adjust posture of the sheet piece. The hopper includes two guide plates facing each other with the feed opening therebetween and configured to guide the sheet piece to the coarsely crushing unit and two coupling plates coupling the two guide plates to each other. The posture adjuster includes a protrusion disposed on at least one of the coupling plates and protruding toward an inner side of the hopper. The posture adjuster is configured to come in contact with the sheet piece being coarsely crushed by the coarsely crushing unit to adjust the posture of a portion of the sheet piece that is remote from the coarsely crushing unit.

A fiber powder having a 50% particle diameter (d.sub.50) of 6 to 60 μm, characterized in that the fiber powder has a maximum particle diameter (d.sub.100) of 1,000 μm or less. It is preferred that a value ((d.sub.10.Math.d.sub.90)/d.sub.100) obtained by dividing by the maximum particle diameter (d.sub.100) a value which is obtained by multiplying a 10% particle diameter (d.sub.10) by a 90% particle diameter (d.sub.90) is 0.3 to 5.0, that the fiber powder has an extractable component content of 0.2 to 3.0% by weight based on the fiber weight, and that the fiber powder has a water content of 0.2 to 50% by weight. Further, it is preferred that the fiber powder is an organic material, or comprises a thermoplastic resin, and that the thermoplastic resin is a polyester resin or a polyamide resin.
