What is Clinical Waste?

Clinical waste refers to any waste that may pose a risk of infection or contamination and requires specialist handling and disposal.

This can include materials that have been in contact with bodily fluids, medical equipment or hazardous substances. Because of the potential risk to public health, clinical waste must be managed according to strict UK regulations.

Common types of clinical waste include:

Sharps such as needles and syringes
Contaminated dressings and bandages
Disposable medical equipment
Pharmaceutical waste
Laboratory materials
Infectious waste
Healthcare waste from treatments or procedures

Businesses producing this type of waste must ensure it is stored, collected and disposed of by a licensed clinical waste provider.
