What is medical waste?

The diverse healthcare industry generates numerous waste streams. Generally, medical waste can be defined as any item that has been in contact with bodily fluids. Specifically, medical waste is described as any solid waste generated in the diagnosis, treatment or immunisation of humans. According to legislation, medical waste needs to be collected by a transporter that is licensed by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to collect and transport such waste.
