With the improvement of the medical technology and the life rhythm of the public, as well as the inherent property of the medical industry, the utilization rate of the disposable medical products has greatly increased, resulting in more pressure for the management of clinical waste, which has become a major social point. If the clinical waste is not handled timely and effectively, it will have some impact not only on human injury but also on the development of society. For example, in 1955, since the water source of a city in India was contaminated by the bacteria, more than half the general population suffered from icteric hepatitis A. In 1986, the outbreak of hepatitis A in Shanghai was also caused by clams contaminated with viral contaminated water in food hospitals.
Clinical wastes refer to the wastes with direct or indirect infectivity, toxicity and other hazards generated by medical and health institutions in medical treatment, prevention, and other related activities, which are mainly divided into infectious wastes, pathological wastes, and injurious wastes, and pharmaceutical wastes and chemical wastes, all of which are listed in the national list of hazardous wastes.
The Government Issued A Request to Strengthen the Management of Clinical Waste
At present, to prevent the two spread under the fact that the control of the epidemic is in the consolidation period in China, it is particularly important to deal with the clinical waste. On February 26, 2020, several national departments and commissions jointly issued the work plan that by the end of 2020, at least one disposal facility of clinical waste should be built in each city above prefecture level; by the end of June 2022, each city is supposed to have a medical waste disposal system to collect and transfer. In the recycling and utilization link, it is required to ensure that there are at least one recycling enterprise and one utilization enterprise, or one enterprise with recycling-utilization system, to make full use of platforms such as the third party, which provides a lot of market opportunities for management equipment, collection tools, and clinical waste recycling programs and other fields related to medical waste management.

There Is A Big Gap in the Treatment of Medical Abolition in China
At present, only three cities in China have achieved the expected amount of clinical waste management, which means that the amount of clinical waste management is almost the same as the potential amount of clinical waste, while other cities are not so ideal. Besides, under the influence of many factors, many clinical wastes of many medical institutions ranging from counties to townships have not been treated formally, thus there is still a big gap in the domestic medical abolition.
According to the data of the Ministry of health, domestic clinical waste production has increased year by year since 2011, among which the most waste comes from the inpatient department. According to statistics, the inpatient department generates 700 grams of medical waste per bed per day, and the outpatient department generates 30 grams per person. In 2018, the total number of medical and health institutions in China reached 997,434, with beds of 8.404 million and the number of diagnoses and treatment of 8.31 billion. According to statistics, the domestic medical waste reached 2.17 million tons in 2018, including 2.14 million tons of medical waste generated by the inpatient department and 330,000 tons generated by the outpatient department. Based on this, what is estimated is that in 2019, the amount of medical waste in China will be 2.26 million tons.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the management of clinical waste has become one of the public concerns. Since January 20, the country has handled more than 140,000 tons of clinical waste, which is estimated that the output of new mask waste will be about 162,000 tons in 2020. If it adds other types of clinical waste, it is estimated that the output of medical waste will increase by more than 25 percent in 2020, which will create new opportunities for the clinical waste management industry.
The Daily Treatment Capacity of Medical Waste is Improved Rapidly
According to the data released by the Ministry of ecological environment, the current national management capacity of medical waste has increased from 4,903 tons per day before the epidemic to 6,022 tons per day, with an increase of 23 percent. On March 9, a total of 3,006 tons of medical waste were collected nationwide, including 468.9 tons of medical waste the epidemic related. During the epidemic period, there were 22 cities in the country where the clinical waste management is in overload operation, and 28 cities are in full load operation or close to full
load operation.
The Market Scale of Medical Waste Treatment Will Reach 1,714 Million USD in 2025
Data shows that in 2018, the potential rate of clinical waste management in China was only 35 percent, which is far lower than that in developed countries, thus there is still much room for improvement in the clinical waste management market. In terms of the market scale of clinical waste management industry, it will usher in a sharp increase in the short term and in the long term, clinical waste management is a long-term topic which will also maintain a certain degree of growth. By 2025, the clinical waste management market in China will be nearly 1,714 million USD.
At present, there is no leading enterprise in the field of medical waste in our country, and there are few enterprises in the industry that develop and layout in parallel, so there is no fierce competition for the moment, so we can help to deal with medical waste in this epidemic. BGE has undertaken the clinical waste management and wastewater treatment of Vulcan Mountain Hospital, which has many professional branch companies operating medical waste and hazardous waste treatment business.
