Manufacturing industry refers to those industries involved in fabrication, processing, or preparation of products from raw materials and commodities. Raw materials or commodities such as foods, chemicals, textiles, machines, wood, or refined minerals derived from extracted ores can be inputs for the manufacturing industry, which has a significant share in the industrial sector. Turning raw materials into consumer products or intermediate products to be used in the production process results in the generation of all types of wastes. Depending on the nature of the raw material used, the technology used in the manufacturing process, and the environmental vision of the industrialists, waste types and waste amounts show a considerable variation.
