Biomedical & Hospital Waste Barcode Tracking System Launched

EPA Punjab, in collaboration with the Directorate of Environmental Health, has deployed a barcode-based Hospital Waste Tracking System covering over 300 registered healthcare facilities across Punjab. Every waste bag is tagged at source, scanned at collection, and verified at authorised treatment and disposal facilities — creating an unbroken digital chain of custody.
