Rising need for safe and hazard-free disposal of waste generated in healthcare facilities is a primarily driving the market during the pandemic. Further, stringent regulations associated with the handling and disposal of medical wastes will translate into increased spending on medical waste containers. Leading manufacturers are boosting the production of medical waste containers and are pushing their efforts towards precautionary measures to minimize disruption in services.
The rapid spread rate of the coronavirus has provoked strict health, environment, and transport regulations associated with medical waste disposal processes and products. Labeling, color coding, and multiple layers are gaining importance during the public health crisis. Amid the pandemic, medical and public facilities have to invest in medical waste disposal containers to minimize the risk of contagion.
One of the biggest challenges in healthcare facilities is improper medical waste segregation. Healthcare providers are minimizing these issues by sticking to a single vendor for all of their medical waste container needs, in addition to the setup of an optimized waste management plan. Currently, several healthcare facilities are using bins in every patient room, which are further disposed of together, regardless the kind of waste. Such approaches take up more space than needed, which causes containers to fill up without actually reaching the true capacity.
