Pre-consumer waste is waste that is generated by manufacturers, facilities, or organizations – that doesn’t reach the consumer. Many industries have done their best to be as efficient as possible and reduce pre-consumer waste and unusable raw materials in their business, but unfortunately pre-consumer waste is still a natural byproduct of most industries.
To that point, many companies and industries have become resourceful and found uses to repurpose a lot of pre-consumer waste to make new products. Since pre-consumer waste can range from anything from metal, to food, to paper, to any other virgin material – there is no shortage of products it can be used for.
