I add further the comment above. There is no other option for such waste - it has to be incinerated. But non-bio/clinical waste should be recycled as much as possible. Clinical hospital waste is "controlled" waste and often hospitals have onsite small incinerators.
Incineration is an option, but it could be not really appropriate. As already recommended, the plant has to be good enough (in terms of temperature, retention time, PPE for operators, emission control devices, etc.), and it is rarely true regarding onsite treatment, and particularly for small facilities and rural areas.
Health Care Without Harm has been supported several healthcare facilities worldwide in order to improve waste management, introducing non-burning technologies, with good results. An example is the use of an autoclave. Here you can find several case studies https://noharm-global.org/content/global/hcwh-medical-waste-news
Hi Mr. Yadav, If your question is regarding Treatment/ Processing, with no doubt I will suggest you the Incineration Plants. These plants are in large demand for Bio-Medical waste. For collection system, there are some good options like Closed and Compacted especially designed Trucks or a very unique Capsule (recyclable) which can replace these trucks. These capsules are available now in India as well.
If you need specific information, I would suggest you to go through CPCB/ MoEF guidelines.
Mostly incineration, although it creates lot of harmful air pollutants lot of which are also carcinogens.
We are in Saudi Arabia using Physical/chemical incineration for medical waste treatment, I was able to visit a company named 'SEPCO environment' to see their collection-transportation-incineration and disposal management. This is the company who deal with most of the hospitals in Saudi Arabia for their medical waste disposal.
