WASTE FROM MANUFACTURING AND AGRICULTURE
Turning raw materials into consumer products generates waste. This production waste includes waste from both agricultural and manufacturing. Agricultural waste consists of things like pes- ticide waste, discarded pesticide containers, plastics such as silage wrap, bags and sheets, packaging waste, old machinery, oil and waste veterinary medicines. Manufacturing waste, as you would expect from the vast range of products produced and processes involved, is a very diverse group. The waste generated depends on the technology used, the nature of the raw ma- terial processed and how much of it is discarded at the end of the chain. Very often manufactur- ing wastes end up in the hazardous category.
