Portuguese term or phrase: materiais produtivos e improdutivos
Segue a frase:

"A outra área, importação, conta com 3 analistas que são responsáveis por todo o processo de importação de materiais produtivos e improdutivos da Planta de Itapecerica."


É um texto descrevendo as atividades de cada área de uma empresa. Eles são da área farmacêutica, mas não discriminam qual o tipo de material.

Aparentemente, materiais produtivos são aqueles que entram no processo fabricação ou de comercialização. Improdutivos são os materiais utilizados pela empresa, mas que não entram na comercialização do produtos vendidos. Qual o correspondente disso em inglês?

Obrigado!
