Ineffective biomedical waste management amid COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 has been disproportionately affecting certain stakeholders in India––most notably, sanitation workers and health workers. The rising predicament of ineffective biomedical waste management was a factor for further concern regarding the working conditions of workers in India. The highly contagious virus has been threatening sanitation workers as COVID-19 patients have to discard unmarked biomedical medical waste. Discarded masks, gloves, and tissues are among just a few sources that may potentially spread the outbreak of COVID-19 by many folds. 

On the 14th of July, BBC published an article raising concern about India’s growing biomedical waste challenges amid COVID-19. The article has highlighted the paramount importance of designing a safe waste management system that will allow for the hygienic process to discard COVID-19 wastes. Workers have also stated the need for training and safety gear procedures to handle hazardous waste materials that have the potential to spread COVID-19 in local areas. Furthermore, the article has highlighted the need to decontaminate the waste with sanitizers before collection. The ideal solution is to effectively utilize the reusable cloth masks if the condition suffices for safety.

Following the surge in cases of COVID-19 in India, sales of masks, sanitizers, and safety essentials were increasing at unprecedented speed. Yet, the government or other organizations have been unable to provide information regarding the hygienic methodology to dispose of biomedical waste generated within households. Designfreemart
