“Waste” in Japanese is 浪費 (rōhi).

Focuses on the needless loss of something valuable through excessive or unproductive use.

限られた資源の浪費は、環境にも悪い影響を与えます。kagi ra re ta shi gen no rō hi wa kan kyō ni mo waru i ei kyō o ata e ma su

Wasting limited resources also has a negative impact on the environment.

浪費する (rōhi suru) can describe wasting more than money, including time or energy, so its use extends beyond financial extravagance.
