Industrial waste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Industrial waste is a type of waste produced by industrial activity, such as that of factories, mills and mines. It has existed since the outset of the industrial revolution.[1]
Much industrial waste is neither hazardous nor toxic, such as waste fibre produced by agriculture and logging.[2][neutrality is disputed]
Penalties and fees are created as enforcement actions and to ensure that violating conditions are corrected in a timely manner to ensure consistent treatment of industrial dischargers; to eliminate economic advantages for violations; and to ensure that states recover expenses attributable to violations.[3][4]
