However, this expression is more natural:
- What a waste!
Examples:
This expression is to say we don't use an item:
- Sanae dropped a bottle of Dom Perignon Champagne. What a waste!
- That watermelon is rotten; we can't eat it. What a waste!
This expression is to avoid waste (save and re-use):
- Waste not want not.
Example:
- Don't throw away your rice; I will use it for チャーハン tomorrow. Waste not want not.
This expression is to say we don't use an item:
- It is wasted on him
Examples:
- Daisuke bought his grandmother a new Blue Ray DVD recorder but it's wasted on her because she can't understand how to use it.
- Tomoko gave her parents an expensive bottle of wine but it's wasted on them because they don't drink alcohol.
- Those running shoes are wasted on me because I never do any exercise.
Pattern:
- item + be + wasted on + person
