The concept of "zero waste" is becoming increasingly popular. That's why many industries have created plans to reduce the majority, if not all, of the materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. On the industrial level, zero waste involves repurposing everything that goes into a production process.
No company wants to manufacture products only to send them to a scrap pile. At the same time, they can not entirely avoid faulty products. But instead of just discarding them, companies are now trying to find eco-friendly ways to reuse them. For this reason, the metal sector is hyper-focused on decreasing faults during manufacturing and enhancing sustainability, with the lofty objective of zero waste — material, energy, and more.
