How Does RECAPP Treat Medical Waste?
Off-Site Medical Waste treatment
Off-site medical waste treatment is a far more cost-effective option for most small and mid-sized medical practices and facilities. Third-party vendors whose main business is healthcare waste collection and disposal have the equipment and training needed to handle the process. Vendors can only collect the waste by Dubai Municipality approved vehicles and transfer the waste to a DM-approved treatment facility.
No matter where medical waste is processed, it’s ultimately treated by incineration, as per the local regulations in Dubai.
In the UAE, Veolia is committed to with over 90% of all infectious medical waste which are disposed of by incineration.
What is Medical Waste?
Medical Waste definition as per Federal Law no.24
Any waste made in whole or part of human tissue, animal tissue, blood or other body liquids, secretions, drugs or other pharmaceutical products,bandages, syringes, needles or other medical sharp objects, or any other waste whether contagious chemical or radioactive produced by medical activities, nursing, treatment, medical care, dental, veterinary or pharmaceutical or processed activities or others, tests, research works or study materials or sampling or storage of the same.
The Importance of Medical Waste Treatment
This is why UAE’s medical waste management needs urgent innovation and investment
Healthcare waste management is an often overlooked but critical part of the equation in the race toward sustainability. With the UAE’s ambitions to reach Net Zero by 2050, managing the growing tide of medical waste is more pressing than ever.
As it continues to push toward a future of sustainable development, what does it take to ensure that progress in healthcare doesn’t come at a climate cost? Inversely, what damage are the rising temperatures doing? The answers might lie in balancing innovation, responsibility, and the urgent need for systemic change.
According to government statistics and media reports, the UAE ranked as the region’s second-largest producer of healthcare waste as of 2022, generating approximately 21.5 tons of medical waste daily. Of this, a significant portion—between 15% and 25%—is deemed hazardous or infectious, further highlighting the urgency for effective waste management strategies.
The government and private stakeholders are working in unison towards a greener goal.
