•Waste is stuff you throw away A product is something for which there is a market, something people want A product must be of satisfactory quality for the intended use (implied term of Sale of Goods Act) Pragmatic Anglo Saxon case law approach
•Continental European approach is to catalogue everything If something is in the Waste Catalogue it is “waste” until it meets criteria that say it isn’t
