6. Waste
   Waste is what is thrown away because it is no longer needed or wanted. When something is thrown away the natural resources, energy and the time used to make the product are lost. The vast majority of these resources cannot be replaced. By throwing the product away pressure is put on the environment to cope with the waste itself and by a demand for new resources to replace the product. The best way of managing waste is not to produce it in the first place - waste prevention. Then there may be an option to reuse the product and material.
