Részterméke

Részterméke is a Hungarian term that translates to "by-product" or "derivative product" in English. It refers to a secondary product that is created during the production or processing of a primary product. This by-product is not the main objective of the manufacturing process but is an inevitable result of the primary production.

The nature and value of a részterméke can vary significantly depending on the industry and the specific process involved. In some cases, by-products have significant economic value and can be sold as separate products, contributing to the overall profitability of the operation. For example, in food processing, what might be considered waste from one product could be a valuable ingredient for another. In agriculture, animal by-products are often used for animal feed or fertilizer.

In other instances, by-products may have little to no direct commercial value and might require disposal, which can incur costs. However, even these by-products can sometimes be repurposed or recycled, aligning with principles of sustainability and waste reduction. The identification and utilization of potential by-products are important aspects of efficient industrial and agricultural practices, often driving innovation in product development and resource management. The concept emphasizes that a manufacturing process can yield more than just its intended output.
