Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

"废品" refers to discarded or defective items that are no longer useful or functional. It is commonly used to describe waste materials, scrap, or products that have been rejected due to damage or defects.

Common Contexts

You will often hear "废品" in industrial, recycling, and everyday contexts where items are classified as waste or scrap. For example, factories produce "废品" during manufacturing, and people may sell old or broken items as "废品" to recycling centers.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 废品回收 (waste recycling): refers to the collection and recycling of scrap materials.
  • 废品处理 (waste disposal): the process of managing and disposing of waste products.
  • 废品市场 (scrap market): a marketplace for buying and selling waste or scrap goods.

Usage Notes

"废品" is a neutral term but often implies that the item has no value except for recycling or disposal. It differs from "垃圾" (trash) in that "废品" can sometimes be reused or recycled, whereas "垃圾" is general garbage. Avoid confusing "废品" with "次品" (defective product), which refers to products that fail quality standards but may still be usable or repairable.
