On this episode of The Cost of Everything we examine what happens to all the medical waste generated every year from hospitals, clinics, and now individuals wearing their PPE. Medical waste and its disposal was already a major undertaking before the pandemic but has now ballooned following the adoption by average citizens of Personal Protective Equipment like masks and gloves. Host Christy Ai spoke with Satish Sinha, Associate Director at Toxics Link, about the cost of disposing toxic, hazardous, and medical waste and how much biowaste is produced every year.
