Abstract

In the pursuit of greener, safer, and more efficient hospital waste management systems, this chapter introduces an AI-driven biomedical waste management framework designed specifically for hospitals. The proposed solution integrates a CNN-based for real-time biomedical waste classification with an ontology-enhanced content-based recommender system that provides sustainable and regulation-compliant disposal suggestions. The system employs a Raspberry Pi camera and ultrasonic sensors to classify waste into key biomedical categories—Infectious & Pathological Waste, Contaminated Recyclables, Sharps, and Glassware—while simultaneously monitoring bin capacity to prevent overfilling and cross-contamination. Upon detecting hazardous or full-bin conditions, the recommender system intelligently maps the classified waste to appropriate disposal methods such as autoclaving, incineration, secure landfill, or recycling. Experiments show that the RWC-Net model achieves 95.26% classification accuracy, while the recommender system demonstrates a 97% accuracy rate in suggesting disposal pathways.
