Policies to heat up the billions of market medical waste disposal industry or to meet the accelerated running
Release date:
2020/05/15
As of May 4, the country's medical waste disposal capacity was 6,114.8 tons/day, an increase of 1,1212.0 tons/day compared with 4,902.8 tons/day before the outbreak, official data showed. Among them, the medical waste disposal capacity of Hubei Province has increased from 180.0 tons/day before the epidemic to 658.4 tons/day, and the medical waste disposal capacity of Wuhan has increased from 50.0 tons/day before the epidemic to 280.1 tons/day.
The COVID-19 outbreak has intensified the pressure on medical waste disposal across the country, and now regulators are stepping up their deployment to defuse the pressure on the industry and setting a timetable for a better medical waste disposal system.
, issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the state WeiJianWei, ecological environment of the ability construction of concentrated disposal facilities of medical wastes implementation plan "(hereinafter referred to as" implementation plan "), before the end of may, comprehensive MoZha around the region, on the construction of concentrated disposal facilities of medical waste disposal of different categories of medical waste ability. By the end of 2020, every city at or above the prefectural level shall have at least one centralized medical waste disposal facility meeting operational requirements.
"The epidemic has exposed many shortcomings in China's treatment of medical waste." On May 10, a person in charge of a medical waste disposal company told Time Weekly: "For the industry, the implementation plan is more of a guiding significance." In the process of implementation, there is still room for improvement. "While paying attention to scale, the country should also regulate relevant standards in the industry. For example, the process routes and emission standards of medical waste treatment enterprises need to be further clarified."
Emergency response plan activated
Under the epidemic situation, the pressure of medical waste disposal has increased sharply. In March, Li Ruiqin, deputy head of the Hubei Provincial department of Ecology and Environment, described the pressure on Wuhan's medical waste disposal as "the ultimate test". According to him, the amount of medical waste disposal in the province once increased from 136 tons per day before the epidemic to 458 tons, an increase of 3.4 times, among which Wuhan increased from about 45 tons to 291 tons, nearly 6.5 times the usual level.
With the joint efforts of relevant departments, the pressure of medical waste treatment has been alleviated. The reporter of Time Weekly learned from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on May 11 that at present, medical waste in China can be fully collected and handled. For example, after the Ministry of Ecology and Environment guided hubei province and Wuhan city to take measures, Hubei's medical waste disposal capacity increased two or three times.
As of May 4, the country's medical waste disposal capacity was 6,114.8 tons/day, an increase of 1,1212.0 tons/day compared with 4,902.8 tons/day before the outbreak, official data showed. Among them, the medical waste disposal capacity of Hubei Province has increased from 180.0 tons/day before the epidemic to 658.4 tons/day, and the medical waste disposal capacity of Wuhan has increased from 50.0 tons/day before the epidemic to 280.1 tons/day.
Why can medical waste disposal capacity be improved rapidly in the short term? Zhao Qunying, director of the ministry of Ecology and Environment's emergency response office, pointed out in March that the increase was mainly due to the coordinated disposal of mobile equipment and hazardous waste incineration facilities, and the coordinated disposal of medical waste by garbage incineration facilities.
"This is ok in emergency situations, but in the future we will need to build standardized medical waste disposal facilities." Zhao Qunying said frankly.
"Medical waste is not directly accepted by ordinary incinerators. The use of domestic waste incineration facilities for medical waste treatment may pose a threat to the human health of waste disposal personnel, and may pollute the surrounding environment and bring hidden dangers to the epidemic prevention and control work. Therefore, under multiple protection, it can only be used as an emergency measure rather than a normal one." "Said Liu Jiaqi, director of the Environmental Resources and Energy Law Research Center at Liaoning University.
Higher disposal costs are a roadblock
"There are many reasons for the slow development of China's medical waste treatment industry," Liu pointed out, and the burden of treatment costs is an important aspect.
Under normal circumstances, the cost of medical waste disposal is mainly borne by medical institutions, and the disposal cost is extracted from the profits of medical institutions, Liu said. For some rural medical institutions, the cost of medical waste disposal is relatively high.
The reporter of Time Weekly looked through the charging standard documents of medical waste disposal in many provinces and cities, and found that the charging standard of various provinces and cities in China is not the same, and there are various charging modes. For example, the price per ton of medical waste treatment can be as high as 3, 000 yuan per ton of medical waste measured by weight. In contrast, the negotiated price for incineration of household waste in many places does not exceed 100 yuan per ton.
"The cost of disposing of medical waste paid by some rural medical institutions even exceeds the purchase cost of medical equipment." Liu Jiachi pointed out that the high cost of medical waste disposal affects the willingness of medical institutions to pay, and thus affects the standardization and harmless treatment of medical waste and the development of related industries.
Regulators have taken note, with the appeal of village doctors in many places. "Implementation plan" in particular, the reasonable verification of medical treatment charges. The medical treatment expenses paid by medical institutions as medical costs in accordance with regulations shall be compensated reasonably when the price of medical services is adjusted.
At present, the charge standard that each district revisits has not seen true features. School of environment, tsinghua university, director of the center for circular economy industry zong-guo wen said in an interview with time weekly reporter that the current medical waste treatment mode approved by beds of check and ratify is more, but different regions and different departments of medical waste output, how science fair charging standard of check and ratify, also need to around the "adjust measures to local conditions" for research.
Billions of market increment to be released
"If SARS led to an explosive growth in China's medical waste industry, this outbreak is likely to catalyse the industry to enter a period of rapid development again." Guotai Junan environmental protection team said in a research paper. A number of industry practitioners also expressed their expectations for the development of the industry when interviewed by reporters of Time Weekly.
Wang Lin, general manager of Everbright Environmental Energy Sanya Co., LTD., told Time Weekly on May 10 that the company will continue to increase investment in medical and hazardous waste industries with policy support.
On May 8, It replied that relevant data such as the scale of medical waste projects under construction and transferred to operation in various regions were being sorted out. However, the reporter of Time Weekly noticed that the company said it would continue to invest in medical waste and hazardous waste industries through new construction and technological transformation in the future when answering the questions from investors.
According to the prediction industry Research Institute, the market size of medical waste treatment in China will reach 10.737 billion yuan in 2023, and the production of medical waste will reach 2.4956 million tons.
In Wen's opinion, the introduction of the policy will not only benefit prefecture-level cities, but also promote the treatment of medical waste in county-level cities to gradually get on the right track. "There are more than 2,000 counties in China, with a large number of counties with a population of over one million. Most of the counties with a relatively dense population will have hospitals of a certain scale, which will bring a broad market space for the medical waste treatment industry."
The Implementation plan also makes it clear that each county will establish a medical waste collection, transfer and disposal system within 1-2 years.
"The market increment released for county-level cities includes not only centralized disposal at the end, but also collection and transshipment at the front, and mobile disposal and preprocessing facilities in remote grass-roots areas." Liu jiaqi said that for the upstream and downstream related industries, such as sanitation equipment will bring new development opportunities.
However, Wen Zongguo reminds, the release of the policy to the market space may have a certain lag, the first half of next year, the medical waste industry may have a greater development. In addition, the government should also strengthen supervision on operation standards and other aspects, so as not to let too much "hot money" undermine the standardized development of the industry.
