Would an alien species need to produce waste?

All organisms on Earth produce waste. Whether an organism's respiration has a byproduct, or it just doesn't process all food it consumes, it will always put some amount of matter into the environment after consumption.

Could an alien organism choose and process food so efficiently that only excess energy left its body? Is this biologically possible?
