What is Manufacturing Waste?
This type of waste is generated by the manufacturing industry during the production process and can be categorised using the following 7 core types:
- Overproduction - Producing more than is required by the market or consumer demand.
- Defects goods - Items that do not meet quality standards.
- Excess inventory - Stock of finished goods or raw materials that are not needed.
- Waiting time - Time waiting for materials or equipment to arrive, causing delays in the product process. This can create waste due to materials and components being spoiled or damaged.
- Motion waste - The unnecessary movement of equipment that can in turn cause damage and affect its life-span, meaning components or entire machines may need to be disposed of and replaced.
- Transportation waste - The unnecessary transportation of materials and goods. This can include waste from transportation packaging and can potentially damage goods in transit.
- Over processing - Performing additional or unnecessary steps in the production process can cause excess parts and materials.
What types of waste does the manufacturing industry create?
The manufacturing industry can cause many types of waste including:
- Hazardous waste - Waste that is toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive and can cause harm to health and the environment. Examples include asbestos, chemicals, and batteries.
- Non-hazardous waste - Waste that is not considered dangerous or harmful, such as paper and plastic, however it still requires proper disposal or recycling.
- Metal waste - Scrap metal such as steel, generated during the manufacturing process.
