objetivo (utilidade ou emprego) dos materiais de descarte
Explanation:
A pergunta procede. Acho que o termo "purpose" foi empregado de forma imprecisa no texto original.

Dependendo do contexto, eu usaria os termos objetivo, utilidade (ou emprego).

Ex:
Describe the specific purposes of waste materials
Descrever a utilidade (ou emprego) específica(o) dos materiais de descarte

Understand when a new waste material is needed
Entender quando o emprego de um novo material de descarte é necessário
