medical waste
Définition(s)
- Medical waste, also known in Europe as healthcare waste or clinical waste, is a distinct and complex waste stream for regulation and management. Due to the infectious, toxic, and radioactive nature of this type of waste, it is important that these materials are separated from other wastes and stored, transported, treated, and disposed of in ways that minimize their risk to both human health and the environment.
