In 2018, the volume of biomedical waste treated and disposed across India was 530 metric tons per day. This was a mere 20 metric tons less than the total waste generated that year. Segregation of waste is the most crucial step in biomedical waste management.
Common generators of this waste include hospitals, private clinics, nursing homes, medical research facilities and funeral homes or morgues.
