A type of controlled waste from a factory or industrial process (excluding mines and quarries.)
[[Industrial Waste]] is defined within Section 75 of the [[Environmental Protection Act 1990]] as ''waste from any of the following premises:''
 
''* any factory (within the meaning of the Factories Act 1961);
 
''* any premises used for the purposes of, or in connection with, the provision to the public of transport services by land, water or air;
 
''* any premises used for the purposes of, or in connection with, the supply to the public of gas, water or electricity or the provision of sewerage services; or''
 
''* any premises used for the purposes of, or in connection with, the provision to the public of postal or telecommunications services."
 
Like the other elements of [[Controlled Waste]] Industrial waste is defined by the type of premises it originates from.
 
[[Industrial Waste]] arisings are often reported alongside [[Commercial Waste]] arisings given the similarity between the waste types. [[Commercial and Industrial Waste]] outlines the latest set of published data on tonnage arisings of both Commercial and Industrial Waste in England and throughout the UK.
