Once you have bought a plastic pellet, why not ensure that all of them actually end up in a product. Production "waste" is a word we should eliminate. In almost all cases materials and products that are collected during the manufacturing process and might have a defect or come off the line during standard processing can be reclaimed and returned back to the starting point of the manufacturing process. Efficient material flow management saves costs and is simply efficient resource management - you paid for it in the first place, make sure all of it ends up in a sellable product.
