| Abstract |
Medical waste constitutes a complex legal reality. This is the consequence of a disperse and heterogeneous regulatory group that is structured mainly through regional regulation. Although matters related to medical waste have been part of the sectoral legislation on waste, their prominence has been less, as evidenced in the latest regulatory updates that, influenced by the principle of waste hierarchy and under the inspiration of economics circular, have given a secondary space to sanitary waste. However, the health crisis caused by COVID- 19 has revealed the effects that incorrect treatment and management of this waste can have on the population and in relation to public health. |
