Industrial waste is a type of waste produced by industrial activity, such as that of factories, mills and mines. It has existed since the outset of the industrial revolution.

Toxic waste and chemical waste are two designations of industrial waste.
Sewage treatment can be used to clean water tainted with industrial waste.
