Thermal pollution.
Some energy escapes from the environment as heat energy, which is a byproduct of metabolic processes. This heat energy cannot be reused by organisms and is eventually lost to the surroundings.
Heat is not usually considered a waste product. It is a form of energy that can be harnessed and used in various ways, such as to generate electricity, provide warmth, or drive chemical reactions. However, excess heat that is not utilized efficiently or escapes unnecessarily can be seen as a waste.

Thermal Energy
The term for extra heat given off by machines is "waste heat." It is the energy that is not used for the intended purpose of the machine and is instead released into the surrounding environment as heat.
Most waste heat is dissipated into the environment through convection, conduction, and radiation. It can also be captured and converted into useful energy through technologies like waste heat recovery systems.
Waste energy is typically considered to be a form of thermal energy. This refers to the energy that is lost to the surroundings in the form of heat during various processes or energy transformations.
When temperatures are high it causes the environment to heat up.
during the day, the minute holes in sand trap the heat of the sun and make the surrounding environment hot. whereas in night there is no sun and therefore no heat so the heat escapes from the sand and make environment cold.... by bhomesh
Heat energy becomes waste energy when it is not harnessed and utilized for productive purposes. In many systems, heat is produced as a byproduct of energy generation or industrial processes and is not effectively captured or transferred into useful work. As a result, the heat is simply dissipated into the surrounding environment as waste energy.
waste heat is heat that is wasted, like cars waste 75% of heat
