1. Definition of medical waste
Medical Waste
Wastes that may threat human health caused by infection and
need special treatment for human health and environmental protection
such as human organs, animal bodies for clinical test,
which is generated from Health and clinical organizations, animal
hospitals and clinical test institutions. (by Wastes Control Act)

2. Overview
Concept
To Control thoroughly medical waste that is harmful to
human body and a big threat to secondary pollution
with RFID technology
RFID? (Radio Frequency Identification)
RFID is high-technology that recognizes and processes information about
objects at a long distance on a real time through electronic tags that
attached and RFID readers.
