Waste minimization is the practice of reducing the amount and toxicity of waste generated by a process, facility, or organization, typically through source reduction, process redesign, recycling, and material reuse. Environmental and operations professionals apply it in manufacturing and industrial settings to cut disposal costs and meet regulatory or sustainability goals. It's a proactive complement to waste management, focused on prevention rather than just handling waste after it's created.
