BMW Segregation Protocols
Accurate color-coding is vital for compliance. Below is the corrected standard based on the current Biomedical Waste Management Rules.
| Color | Waste Contents | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | Anatomical, Soiled, Chemical, Cytotoxic waste | Incineration / Plasma Pyrolysis |
| Red | Contaminated Waste (Recyclable: tubes, IV sets, catheters) | Autoclaving / Microwaving |
| White (Translucent) | Waste Sharps (Needles, scalpels, blades) | Autoclaving + Shredding |
| Blue | Glassware & Metallic body implants | Disinfection & Recycling |
High-Yield NEET PG Correction:
- Yellow: Uses Yellow bags (not red).
- Red: Uses Red bags (not blue/green).
- Blue: Uses Blue marked boxes/containers (not green).
- Note: There is no standard “Green” category in the primary hospital biomedical waste color-coding system; general waste is often handled separately per municipal rules.
