[edit] Thoughts on waste definition

Waste is itself a human concept that has changed over time. In nature everything is reused or benign. Over time many problematic forms of waste such as Coal_tar and used Cooking_oil have become valued materials, and there is increasing adoption of closed loop production systems. -- M0llusk 18:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
