Police nab 3 over medical waste scam
Print Edition
THREE people face criminal charges for trading more than 3,000 tons of medical waste in east China’s Jiangsu Province, some of which was manufactured into toys and tableware, police said yesterday.
Nanjing police said this week that the suspects, one in custody and two on bail, were caught following a police raid that confiscated 13.5 tons of medical waste, including IV tubes, syringes, needles and glass bottles for antibiotics, at a waste collection center late August.
Medical waste can pollute the environment and spread disease and by law must be disposed of in accordance with regulations. Police said the center, registered as an environmental technology company, had bought more than 3,000 tons of medical waste from hospitals in Nanjing for 800 yuan (US$115) to 1,000 yuan per hospital, each month since 2012.
The materials were then processed at the center. Plastic waste was turned into plastic blocks and sold to factories. Some of the blocks were used to make counterfeit branded toys and tableware.
