    3. Reuse refers to the use of industrial waste produced by an enterprise as raw material, materials, fuel, land reclamation fill, or other acts of use recognized by the central industry competent authority via self-use, sale, transfer, or commissioning, and in compliance with reuse regulations.

  4. Clean-up refers to the act of storage, clearance or disposal of industrial waste.

  5. Compatibility refers to contact between industrial waste and a container or material, or the mixture of two or more types of industrial waste, will not produce the following effects:

    1. Generation of heat.

    2. An intense reaction, fire or explosion.

    3. Generation of flammable or harmful fluids.

    4. Degradation of container material, so as to lessen the pollution control effect.
