Please help me!

Can I write: "Waste produced from company A decreased slightly in the same period" or should I write "The amount of waste produced from company A decreased slightly in the same period."

Thank you!

"the amount of waste" is more accurate, but just "waste" is just as understandable by most reasonable readers. (If you're doing a essay that requires a maximum or minimum of words, this is a place where you may be able to fudge the word count. ) CJ
