    The document discusses biomedical waste management procedures for red bag waste. Red bags contain infectious plastic items like tubing, bottles, and urine bags. This waste is treated through autoclaving, microwaving, or mutilation/sterilization and then shredded before being sent to authorized recyclers. The treated waste is not sent to landfills but rather used for energy recovery, conversion to fuel, or road making.
