Waste is the stuff which is of no use to the user. We eat food, our body absorbs the nutrients, and the rest is waste. We eat the banana, but the peel is waste. We don't use it and just throw it away. Mineral ore is refined and the useless rock, called slag, is waste. Waste may be useless to us but is often useful to others: our bodily wastes are fertilizer to plants.

What is the relationship between availability of and access to resources and the production of waste?

The availability of and access to resources directly influence waste production, as insufficient resources can lead to overconsumption and inefficient use, resulting in higher waste generation. Conversely, better access to sustainable resources and recycling options can minimize waste by promoting responsible consumption and effective waste management practices. Additionally, communities with limited access to resources often lack the infrastructure for proper waste disposal, exacerbating waste issues. Ultimately, improving resource availability and access can significantly reduce waste production through more sustainable practices.
