In healthcare and research environments, biological waste disposal is a daily reality. Whether you’re handling human tissue, blood samples, or contaminated instruments, the safe removal and treatment of this waste is vital for preventing disease transmission and protecting the environment.
What qualifies as biological waste?
Biological waste includes any material that may contain pathogens or biohazardous substances. Common examples include:
- Human blood and bodily fluids
- Animal tissue and carcasses
- Microbiological cultures
- Contaminated PPE and lab materials
- Used sharps and slides
This type of waste can’t be handled like regular trash—it requires strict handling, secure containers, and proper treatment through sterilization or medical waste incineration.
