Waste Definition

The definition of waste can vary depending on the context in which it is used. For example, waste may be defined as anything that is unwanted or unnecessary, or anything that is discarded without being put to use.

In a regulatory context, waste may be defined as any material that is not specifically excluded from regulation and that is either discarded or discharged into the environment in a manner that poses a risk to human health or the environment.

In an economic context, waste may be defined as anything that provides no economic value to the producer or consumer. This includes materials that are considered valueless because they are unusable, harmful, or indestructible.
