Question

Which industries produce the most waste both general waste and recyclable materials?

Answer 1

Agriculture creates the most recyclable waste, second only to wind power generation and water power generation.

You may be amazed to see those power generation schemes listed, but watch what percentage of input resource flows away as a waste byproduct.

Every bit of incoming water flows away as waste. Every bit of wind (air) flows away as waste.

You can't even get any power from these devices unless the waste water or wind can get away.
