Explanation:
There are many different types of medical waste, categorised largely by the types of materials uses and the waste disposal methods. In general, in the UK medical waste is separated into two main types: hazardous and non-hazardous. In the US and other parts of the world, there are four major types of medical waste: General, Infectious, Hazardous and Radioactive. Many of the same types of medical waste have different names that can be used interchangeable, depending on which country you are operating in.
Types of dustbin...
- General Waste – The bulk of most medical waste, mostly typical household and office waste
- Infectious Waste – Any waste that could cause an infection in humans, like blood, human tissue or anything contaminated with bodily fluids
- Hazardous Waste – Waste that’s dangerous, but not infectious, like sharps, discarded surgical equipment, and some chemical waste
- Radioactive Waste – Any waste generated as a result of radioactive treatments, like cancer therapies, and medical equipment that uses nuclear elements.
