Byproduct does not equal waste product. Plastic is a byproduct, so is gasoline. Your conflating the ideas.

it would be waste if we didn't have a use for it

The use predates the creation of it. There had already been a use for it the moment it was made. It has never once been considered a waste product except in the style of argument you are making right now.

the use can't predate it's creation. that's not how linear time works.
