waste product
Manufacturing's unwanted output
A waste product is material left over from a process that has no further use in that process.
The body produces waste products like carbon dioxide and urea through metabolism.
Industrial waste products include slag from smelting or sawdust from milling.
Some waste products find secondary uses: Molasses is a waste product of sugar refining.
