February 2021<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Medical waste disposal industry in China started in the 1980s.<\/p>\n During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, authorities including the National Health Commission issued the Work Plan for Comprehensive Treatment of Waste from Medical institutions<\/strong>. The work plan requires each prefecture-level city (293 prefecture-level cities) to build at least one standardized medical waste disposal facility by the end of 2020, and each county (about 2,846 county-level administrative divisions) to build a medical waste collection, transfer and disposal system by the end of June 2022.<\/p>\n The National Hazardous Waste List issued by the China Ministry of Environmental Protection divides medical waste into five categories, including: 1) Infectious waste, which refers to medical waste that carries pathogenic microorganisms and causes the risk of spreading infectious diseases; 2) Pathologic waste refers to wastes such as human wastes or medical laboratory animal carcasses generated during diagnosis and treatment; 3) Damaging waste refers to discarded medical sharps that can stab or cut the human body; 4) Drug waste refers to expired, abandoned drugs that are eliminated, deteriorated or contaminated; 5) Chemical waste refers to discarded chemicals that are toxic, corrosive, flammable, and explosive. Among them, infectious waste <\/strong>including items contaminated by patients’ blood, body fluids, and excreta, accounts for the largest proportion, about 85%.<\/strong><\/p>\n At present, medical waste disposal enterprises mainly deal with infectious and damaging medical waste<\/strong>. Most drug and chemical medical waste are transferred to hazardous waste disposal enterprises. Pathologic medical waste is not disposed by medical waste disposal enterprises.<\/p>\n For more information about current China\u2019s medical waste disposal approaches, business model, market situation and size, and opportunities, please download the full report here<\/u>.<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n EnvGuide, an environmental information & e-commerce\u00a0platform, was developed by the US-China Environmental Education Foundation (UCEEF), sponsored by the US Department of Commerce (USDOC) International Trade Administration (ITA) through its Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) and donations from readers like you.<\/p>\n The EnvGuide\u00a0platform is a bridge between the United States and China so that environment-related organizations are able to share the industry\u2019s latest environmental advice, technologies, and instrumentation\/equipment application on the platform; US environmental products can be introduced to China.\u00a0 For more information please visit EnvGuide website: https:\/\/us.envguide.com\/<\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"About EnvGuide<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
