Hazardous wastes (Industrial and hospital wastes) May contain toxic substances. India generates about 7 million tons of hazardous wastes every year. 3. Hospital waste (Biomedical waste) Generated during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of people or animals or inresearch acitivities or in the production or testing of biologicals.

Most plants do not have solid wastes. Only those plants that eat insects have solid wastes. The venus fly trap and sundew let the rotted bodies of insects fly away in the wind when they open up. In the pitcher plant, the rotted bodies decompose in the bottom of the water trap. Plants that do not eat insects do not have any solid wastes to get rid of. They get their nutrients from the soil with their roots, they also take in water, and take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They do not have solid wastes.
Solid wastes are defined as any type of municipal or industrial waste that needs to be disposed of. Hazardous wastes are defined by characteristic codes and listed ingredients that make up the substance to be disposed of.
