Abstract
In recent years, medical waste pollution has become increasingly prominent, seriously affecting the sustainable development of society and human survival. On this basis, we should focus on plastic medical waste, identify the types of pollution, and respond to measures to lay the environmental foundation for sustainable social development. In addition, since incineration is a common treatment method for large amounts of plastic medical waste, the environmental impact is not a problem of tomorrow but an urgent current problem. In this study, we chose plastic medical Waste treatment as the research object, and then analyzed the effective ideas and measures of its resource treatment, in order to change the traditional Waste treatment way and realize the green development of cities, realize the conversion of resources to wealth. In the research process, this work first analyzed the significance of plastic medical waste recycling, then studied the current main treatment measures, and on this basis identified the problems of plastic medical waste recycling and treatment, to seek the scientific solution measure, and proposed the suggestion to our country plastic medical waste treatment.
