Healthcare facilities wish to reduce health problems and treatment of diseases. Healthcare waste is a by-product of healthcare facilities and may be called regulated infectious waste or biomedical waste, or clinical waste. Public health problems and their impact on the environment are frequently a consequence of inappropriate and inadequate handling and disposal of HCW.

Therefore, the sound management of HCW is a crucial component of environmental health protection.
