What is RMW? Regulated medical waste (RMW), also known as âbiohazardousâ waste or 'infectious medicalâ waste, is the portion of the waste stream that may be contaminated by blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials, thus posing a significant risk of transmitting infection.
See the Types of Regulated Medical Waste page for more information on the classification of RMW. 1  Most state laws require RMW to be rendered non-infectious before it can be disposed of as solid waste. 2  RMW is unique to the healthcare sector and presents a number of compliance challenges.
