Industrial waste
Industrial waste is the waste produced by industrial activity which includes any material that is rendered useless during a manufacturing process such as that of factories, mills and mines. It has existed since the outset of the industrial revolution. Some examples of industrial waste are paints, sand paper, paper products, industrial by-products, small bits and pieces of metals, radioactive wastes,etc.
Toxic waste, chemical waste, Industrial solid waste and Municipal solid waste are designations of industrial waste. One of the ways to process industrial waste is sewage treatment, as it can be used to clean water tainted with industrial waste.
Penalties and fees are created all over the world as enforcement actions for reducing industrial waste. Laws are enforced to ensure that violating conditions are corrected in a short time, and the environment is protected from the unnecessary man-made pollution.[1]
