Wastes exist as gas, liquid, or solid. When gas or liquid, they are called emissions (or pollution) instead of waste. A waste is only a waste if considered as such. When saying "waste", most people think of a good with a negative value and without owner. | Wastes exist as gas, liquid, or solid.

When saying "waste", most people think of a good with a negative value and without owner - a [[w:public bad]]. But one can also see waste as a [[resource]] as in [[industrial ecology]].

Industry is slowly moving toward better use of its wastes. [[industrial ecology]] for example is a method which consist of using the waste of a factory (matter or heat) as resources of another factory. (see the industrial district of [[kalundborg]] in Sweden). Most wastes issues are due to products rejected outside of manufactoring processus, or those for which industrials don't feel responsible for : [[disposable packaging]], [[free goods]] for advertisement...Shifting from [[service leasing]] rather than goods selling might be a solution. | Industry is slowly moving toward better use of its wastes.

*Industry and energy production: 60% | |||
*Farming and livestock production: 25% | |||
*Building: 10% | |||
*Consumer waste: 5% | |||
These figures are from Finland but should be quite similar in other industrialised, developed countries. | |||
