Formula:

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate COVID-19 related waste:

Total Daily Waste (kg) = (Number of COVID-19 Patients × Average Waste per Patient) + (Number of Healthcare Workers × Average PPE Waste per Worker)

Total Waste (kg) = Total Daily Waste (kg) × Number of Operational Days

Where:

  • Number of COVID-19 Patients: The daily average of active COVID-19 patients being treated.
  • Average Waste per Patient: The estimated medical waste (in kg) generated per COVID-19 patient per day. (e.g., medical supplies, non-PPE)
  • Number of Healthcare Workers: The daily average of healthcare professionals directly involved in COVID-19 patient care or working in relevant areas.
  • Average PPE Waste per Worker: The estimated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) waste (in kg) generated per worker per day.
  • Number of Operational Days: The total number of days for which you want to estimate the waste generation (e.g., 7 for a week, 30 for a month).
