How it is used
- Rejects/scrap - defective products or discarded material - 废品回收 (fèipǐn huíshōu) scrap/recyclables collection.
- Two flavors: manufacturing seconds that failed QC, and household junk sold to recyclers.
- Contrast 次品 (cìpǐn), which is substandard but still usable/sellable; 废品 is essentially waste.
