Description Waste materials are a by-product of every aspect of society including: manufacturing, service industries, households, sewage-treatment plants, and many other facilities (sources). Each step in the process of supplying raw materials, manufacturing finished goods, distributing finished goods, and consuming goods, generates various types of waste materials. Some waste products may be inert; some may be hazardous. The disposal of these waste products has become a major issue in our environmentally conscious society. Conventional methods of disposal include: landfill disposal, incineration, and/or recycling into different products. From an environmental standpoint, waste materials may be, or contain components that may be, classified as hazardous materials. The wastes classification may limit the potential disposal options, increase the disposal cost for some waste products, and increase public awareness about all waste products in general.
