Industrial Waste

Industrial waste is any substance that is rendered useless during manufacturing processes such as metal forming and casting, polymer processing, machining, finishing, assembly, foundry, construction works, textile manufacturing, pulp and paper mills, and mining operations. Chemicals, oils, solvents, metals, radioactive wastes, industrial by-products, dirt and gravel, masonry and concrete are some examples of industrial waste. This waste may differ from industry to industry depending on the raw materials used, the manufacturing processes, and the product outlets. Industrial waste may have inorganic fractions, organic fractions, biodegradable fractions, non-biodegradable substances, be recyclable, etc.

Generally, industrial waste can be categorized into two types: non-hazardous and hazardous. Non-hazardous industrial waste is not considered to pose a threat to public health or the environment, e.g., carton, plastic, metal, glass, rock, and organic waste. In contrast, hazardous waste is the waste from industrial activity that can be flammable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic.
