According to the WHO guideline reports (WHO, 2014; WHO, 2017), healthcare waste includes all the waste generated within health-care facilities, research centers and laboratories related to medical procedures. It also includes the healthcare waste generated at homes (e.g. home dialysis, self-administration of insulin, recuperative care). The healthcare waste can be categorized into eight major groups, including both hazardous and non-hazardous components, as shown in Figure 2.
