Line 15: Line 15:
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.

===Waste production distribution by sector===
*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.
