Resources which exist in abundant in nature are being wasted have made the researchers to focus on thereduction of waste. The word waste refers to unused products or inefficient or non- essential goods.Large amount ofwaste are produced every day which not treated properly. Lean Manufacturing conveys waste as any activity thatconsumes resources but adds no value. Wastes are classified into 1.Over production: Producing more than demand2.Waiting: Long cycle time 3.Transport: Unnecessary movement 4.Over processing: Poor product design consumes moreprocess which adds no value 5.Excess inventory: poor planning 6.Unnecessary movement of workers 7.Defectiveproduct.Zero Waste is a philosophy that encourages the redesign of resource life cycles so that all products are reused. The goalis for no trash to be sent to landfills or incinerators. Recycling and reuse can be eliminated by zero defects. Expendituresfor both producers and consumers can be reduced with the help of zero waste. ZWM can be achieved with the use ofLean optimization tools and Sustainable manufacturing theories. The review discusses the current trends in forming,foundry and machining areas. Many references were made on the properties and applications have been cited in thisreview.
