Waste(s) is a pejorative term for unwanted materials. The term can be described as subjective and inaccurate because waste to one person is not waste to another.

In an industrial or industry context, "waste" refers to any material or substance that is discarded as a result of industrial processes, production, or consumption, and is no longer useful. Waste can include by-products, scraps, waste materials, as well as unused or expired products and packaging.
