Hospitals generate large amounts of plastic and hazardous waste, including syringes, gloves, masks, biomedical materials, and packaging. Improper disposal of this waste in cities and towns poses serious environmental and health risks, contaminating soil, water, and air. Limited recycling infrastructure and inadequate segregation of medical waste make the problem worse., Exposure to improperly managed hospital waste can lead to the spread of infections, chemical hazards, and pollution, affecting healthcare workers, patients, and the surrounding community. Despite regulations for biomedical waste management, lack of awareness, insufficient resources, and poor enforcement result in continued environmental damage. Proper hospital waste management is essential to protect public health, reduce environmental contamination, and promote sustainable practices in healthcare facilities.
