Medical Waste

One outgrowth of all the advances in health care is an overabundance of medical waste. Cases of illegal dumping of medical waste are growing.

IBM aims to help deal with that problem by usig RFID to track medical waste. It will place RFID tags on the containers that hold waste. IBM Japan's RFID Solution Center in Yamato, Japan, will collaborate in the test along with one of Japan's largest waste management companies.
