Medical Waste Institute (MWI)

The Medical Waste Institute (MWI) represents members of the National Solid Wastes Management Association (NSWMA) that transport, treat, and dispose of hospital, medical, infectious, and chemotherapeutic wastes and consulting companies in the medical waste business.  MWI also represents Waste Equipment Technology Association (WASTEC) member companies that manufacture, distribute, and service equipment and technology used in the management of medical waste.  NSWMA and WASTEC are part of the Environmental Industry Associations, a trade association that represents the entire waste industry--solid, industrial, non-hazardous, hazardous, and medical waste companies.

MWI is the leading advocate for the medical waste industry.  Through MWI, members are invited by federal agencies to participate in their stakeholder activities--Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transportation, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Small Business Administation.
