What do hospitals do with medical waste?

I know it refers to discarded medical sharps that can stab or cut the human body. Including medical needles, suture needles, dissecting knives, scalpels, skin preparation knives, surgical saws, slides, glass test tubes, glass ampoules and disposable use of empty needles, infusion sets, blood transfusion needle part, etc.?

This kind of garbage should be put into puncture-proof, leak-proof hard containers immediately after generation, and then put into medical garbage bags with obvious markings, and be collected by special persons regularly in the hospital's medical garbage temporary storage point, and then be centralized by the city's designated medical garbage disposal unit.

Disposable syringes, infusion tubes, etc. are required to be disfigured before they are discarded to avoid reuse. The regulations and systems for managing medical waste are actually quite sound. The key to the problem may also lie in loopholes in enforcement and supervision. The harm caused by the flow of these medical wastes lies not only in the fact that they are reprocessed into household goods and toys, which directly threaten human health, but also in the fact that during the process, they contaminate the water, soil, and the atmosphere, which not only cause the spread of diseases, but also cause serious contamination and destruction of the ecological environment. I hope to borrow the exposure of this case, can let us find and make up for the loopholes in a timely manner, so that the supervision and management is more powerful, to give us a safer living space.
