jälkituotteena
Jälkituotteena, also known as a by-product or secondary product, refers to a material or substance that is produced as a result of a primary manufacturing process but is not the intended main product. These by-products can have various uses and can be valuable in their own right. For example, in the steel industry, slag is a jälkituotteena that is produced during the smelting process. Slag can be used as a construction material, such as in road bases and railroad beds, due to its high density and stability. Similarly, in the food industry, whey, a jälkituotteena from cheese production, is used in various products like yogurt, ice cream, and as a dietary supplement. The utilization of jälkituotteena can contribute to resource efficiency, waste reduction, and the creation of new economic opportunities.
