INDIA INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL WASTE TECH EXPO - Chandigarh 2026, Sector 34 Exhibition Ground, Chandigarh, Chandigarh, India.

The India International Medical Waste Tech Expo isn't a standalone event but is part of the larger Waste Technology India Expo, a key Indian platform for waste management solutions (municipal, industrial, medical, food) showcasing new tech, machinery, networking opportunities, and fostering innovation, co-located with the Clean India Show, attracting professionals for smarter waste handling, recycling, and conversion to energy

Sṛjanam (CSIR-NIIST): An automated system that disinfects pathogenic waste (blood, lab disposables) without incinerators, neutralizing odors and leaving treated material safer than compost, with potential for large-scale use.

Plasma Arc Technology (CSIR-CMERI): Uses electric arcs to break down solid hospital waste, achieving high volume reduction with minimal toxic emissions, making gas outputs safer.

IoT & Smart Systems: Companies are using GPS/IoT for smart vehicle fleets, automated unloading, and better tracking for safe collection and transport of hazardous waste. 

Focus Areas:

Eco-Friendly Alternatives: Moving away from energy-intensive incineration towards methods that reduce environmental pollution and health risks.

Waste-to-Value: Research shows treated waste can be safer than organic fertilizers, shifting focus from disposal to transformation.

Improved Handling: Emphasis on meticulous segregation, tracking (IoT), and safe logistics from source to treatment facility.
