Nepal’s pioneering approach to handling waste at hospitals, particularly with the use of biodigesters, is a forward-thinking solution that tackles pollution while fostering environmental conservation. By replacing harmful incinerators with biodigesters, institutions like Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) have demonstrated an inspiring commitment to clean air and public health. This shift not only improves air quality by eliminating the release of toxic emissions but also repurposes waste into usable biogas, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.



HECAF360 and TUTH’s transition to segregating waste and utilizing biodigesters is an effective model for reducing pollution and supporting sustainable energy. By transforming food and pathological waste into methane, this process conserves resources, curbs harmful chemical emissions, and maintains safer environments for patients and staff. Such actions reflect a dedication to nature and public welfare over the convenience of traditional incineration, marking a vital step toward balancing environmental health with societal needs.

Nepal’s adoption of biodigesters also serves as a model that other nations can emulate, proving that innovation in waste management is possible, even on a limited budget. By tackling healthcare waste responsibly, the country sets a high standard for environmental care, prioritizing both ecological and human health.

It demonstrates a practical and sustainable approach to managing healthcare waste. By converting waste into RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel), they not only address environmental concerns but also generate energy for heating and electricity.

The safe approach to medical waste management is to separate and treat wastes differently.
