The Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) conducted a market analysis on medical waste disposal, revealing issues such as increasing costs in tenders organized by hospitals. The report recommends lifting regional restrictions, allowing alternative disposal methods, and fostering collaboration between hospitals and local governments.

These proposed changes aim to lower costs for hospitals, cosmetic facilities, and tattoo studios involved in medical waste disposal. Competition law advisors should pay attention to how these recommendations could impact market dynamics, pricing strategies, and the entry of new competitors in this sector.
