Abstract

One of the major concerns that came along with the Covid-19 pandemic is the environmental issue caused by the high consumption of medical supplies, more particularly the plastic single use ones (PSUs). A pandemic of this magnitude has resulted in untenable volumes of medical waste. To this end, it is now more vital than ever to properly dispose of infectious medical waste.

The purpose of this study is to address medical waste management, and analyse the disposal systems in several case studies: Medical Waste Management in Surabaya, Indonesia, medical waste management in Seberang Jaya Hospital, Penang, Malaysia, and medical waste management by Poland government.
