Includes any substance that constitutes a scrap material or an effluent or other unwanted surplus substance arising from the application of any process; and any substance or article that requires to be disposed of as being broken, worn out, contaminated or otherwise spoiled (but does not include explosives).
anything that does not contribute to transforming a part to the customer's needs. There are seven types of manufacturing waste: production over immediate demand; excess work in progress and finished goods inventories; scrap, repairs and rejects; unnecessary motion; excessive processing; wait time; and unnecessary transportation.
In Just- in-Time, any activity that does not add value to the good or service in the eyes of the consumer. A by-product of a process or task with unique characteristics requiring special management control. Waste production can usually be planned and controlled. Scrap is typically not planned and may result from the same production run as waste.

Disposal Waste disposal, or its treatment, that causes the least environmental harm.
Waste is any material or object that is no longer wanted and requires disposal. If a material or object is re-usable, it is still classed as waste if it has first been discarded.
Useless matter. To become thin
Unwanted materials remaining from manufacturing processes, or refuse from humans and animals.
Includes sewage and all other waste substances, liquid, solid, gaseous or radioactive, associated with human habitation, of human or animal origin or from any producing, manufacturing or processing operation of whatever nature, including waste placed within containers of whatever nature prior to and for purposes of disposal.
Any activity which utilizes equipment, materials, parts, space, employee time or other corporate resource beyond the minimum amount required for value-added operations to insure manufacturability. These activities could include waiting, accumulating semi-processed parts, reloading, passing materials from one hand to the other and other non-productive processes. The seven basic categories of waste which a business should strive to eliminate: overproduction, waiting for machines, transportation time, process time, excess inventory, excess motion and defects.
1. Unwanted materials left over from a manufacturing process. 2. Refuse from places of human or animal habitation.
Materials that are not prime products (that is, products produced for the market) for which the generator has no further use in terms of his/her own purposes of production, transformation or consumption, and of which he/she wants to dispose. Wastes may be generated during the extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw materials into intermediate and final products, the consumption of final products, and other human activities. Residuals recycled or reused at the place of generation are excluded.
disposal Removal of garbage from urban areas.
Waste is unwanted or undesired material. It may also be called rubbish, trash, garbage or junk depending upon geographical area and type.
