(I) Classification and Recycling Principle: Reducing the quantity of hazardous and toxic medical waste and infectious medical waste is beneficial for the recycling and disposal of medical waste.
(II) Recycling Principle: Avoiding waste and reducing environmental pollution.
(III) Volume Reduction Principle: Reducing the volume and quantity of solid waste through reuse, crushing, compression, incineration, and other means.
(IV) Pollution-Free Principle: Medical waste disposal must comply with environmental protection and health regulations and standards.
(V) Principle of Combining Decentralized and Centralized Treatment: Waste collected separately should be treated separately.

Basic requirements for medical waste packaging:
