The waste depends on the process and material. If you are cutting metal, you'll have lots of little "chips" to deal with afterward.
This will depend upon the types of chips referred to in the question. The volume is not changed based upon the make up of a material or an object. The presence of other material, such as adding chips, may change its density. The volume will change if the chips referred to are chips that remove material from the outside ot the object.

The mass of material lost in a typical machining process depends on various factors like the type of material being machined, the cutting parameters, and the machining method used. In general, only a small percentage of the original material is lost as chips or swarf during machining, with the majority of the material being converted into the desired workpiece.
