What is Clinical Waste?

Clinical waste is a broad term used to describe any waste generated by healthcare organisations such as dentists, vets, and medical centres. It can also include waste from non-clinical businesses such as tattoo parlours, beauty salons, and any business that produces offensive waste like nappies. Essentially, it is any material that may pose a risk to public safety or the environment because it is infectious, sharp, or hazardous.
