The Pictorial Guide on Biomedical Waste Management (BMWM) Rules, 2016 (amended
in 2018 & 2019) is a product of joint research by the Centre for Chronic Disease Control
(CCDC), Centre for Environmental Health (CEH) −Public Health Foundation of India
(PHFI) and Health Care Without Harm (HCWH). The guide is a compilation of important
strategies that are key to appropriate management of biomedical waste in India. The
pictorial guide provides a quick, user-friendly view of the important elements of biomedical
waste handling, treatment and disposal through its illustrative components. These are based
on the specifications provided in the BMWM Rules, 2016 and its subsequent amendments.
Importantly, the guide also includes the provisions for COVID-19 waste management as
prescribed in the Central Pollution Control Board Guidelines 2020.
