Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method for the manufacture of animal litter using filler materials and additional materials that react with liquid. These filler materials are obtained from a fraction of domestic, industrial and other similar waste and/or paper slurry. The fraction obtained from the waste is pulverized and mixed with the additional materials, the mixture is adjusted to a specific moisture content, subsequently granulated, and the resulting granules with a predetermined particle size are separated.The animal litter manufactured according to the invention ensures a high degree of odor retention, has high absorbing power and a low apparent density.
