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.
Medical waste is primarily regulated by state environmental and health departments. EPA does not currently have congressional authority to regulate medical waste and has not had authority since the expiration of the Medical Waste Tracking Act (MWTA) of 1988 in 1991.
