RESEARCH ON THE REVERSE LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT OF MEDICAL WASTE BASED ON THE RFID TECHNOLOGY

To deal with the traditional problems of medical waste in recycling, this paper, using the theory of reverse logistics and RFID technology, designs a medical waste management system model considering hospital receiving, logistics transportation, and disposal plant receiving. Meanwhile, the economic and social value of the model is evaluated from the perspectives of hospital, disposal plant, regulators, and the public; and the deficiencies of the current study are also analyzed. The designed system model provides a novel way to solve the current medical waste management problems, and is able to improve the management performance, to reduce the environmental pollution, then realize the effective and safe medical waste management.
