What is Waste?

1) Non-wanted things created, not intended, or not avoided, with no Purpose.
2) Things that were given a finite Purpose thus destined to become useless after fulfilling it.
3) Things with well-defined Purpose, but their Performance ceased being acceptable
4) Things with well-defined Purpose, and acceptable Performance, but their users failed to use them for the intended Purpose.
