Medical waste refers to all types of waste materials generated at health care facilities like hospitals, clinics, dentist offices, physician’s offices, nursing homes, blood bank and collection centers, animal houses, as well as laboratories and research organizations. Medical waste disposal should be proper and it makes great sense to recycle some recyclable medical waste.

Types and Sources of  Medical Waste
Medical Waste is generated in large quantities every day from medical facilities such as hospitals, doctor’s offices, labs, nursing homes, animal clinics, blood banks, funeral homes, health clinics, medical research laboratories, dentist offices and home health care. Medical waste is collected by authorized collectors and undergoes treatment before recycling.
The medical waste firstly goes through high temperature sterilization, then it is completely destroyed by a medical waste shredder. Due to medical waste is featured in high temperature and humidity, containing a lot of alloys, and that may be contaminated by blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials and has the potential if untreated to harm humans or the environment.

Medical wastes are classified into different categories as follows:
– General waste: wastes that do not pose any hazard, e.g. office paper, wrapper, kitchen waste, etc.
– Pathological and anatomical waste: human tissues, organs, blood, fluids, body parts and animal carcasses, etc.
– Infectious waste: waste capable of transmitting bacterial, viral or parasitical diseases, such as used bandages, swabs, disposable medical devices or laboratory cultures of infectious agents.
– Sharps waste: needles, syringes, scalpels, knives, blades, etc.
– Chemical waste: laboratory reagent, disinfectants, batteries, etc.
– Radioactive waste: products contaminated by radionuclides
– Pharmaceutical waste: unused and/or expired medicines or drugs.
– Genotoxic waste: highly hazardous, such as waste containing cytotoxic drug
