In the Middle East and North Africa Jordan is considered as the top medical tourism due to the high level of medical specialized medical centers in the country. In Jordan Ministry of Health monitors, evaluate, enforces, and regulates requirements of medical waste management over medical waste instructions No. 1/2001. Al-Bashir Hospital is the largest hospital in Jordan. It is built on 156 acres and consists of 49 buildings and 80 departments. It has been reported that Al-Bashir Hospital has 1150 medical bed in 2019 and expected to increase to 1500. About 3200 employee and 1100 clean workers give the medical treatment and service for 7000 patient per day and 1.5 million patient per year. The present situation of medical waste management in Al-Bashir Hospital has many problems. The most important is the pressure imposed by heavy population around the incineration unit in the Hospital. Furthermore, the change from incineration to autoclave is faced by high cost of the autoclaves. The quantity of medical waste created by Al-Bashir Hospital is up to 703.8 ton which constitutes about 33% of the total medical waste in Jordan. The high cost of fuel resulted in wrong acts in Al-Bashir Hospital like mixing medical waste with household waste and incineration at lower temperature (about 600 °C). If the incineration unit in Al-Bashir Hospital is closed the expenses will range from US$ 400,000 to 2.5 million.

Khulna is the third largest metropolitan city in Bangladesh and a centre with intensive commercial and industrial activities. Rapid urbanization and increased migration of people from rural and coastal areas has put tremendous pressure on its existing solid waste management. The status of the existing municipal solid waste (MSW) management tiers such as generation, source storage, collection, on-site storage, transportation, and open dumping has been identified in this study. The daily generation of MSW is estimated as 520 Mg, of which food and vegetable wastes are the main components (79% on average). The major source of generated MSW is residential areas, which is 85.87% of total generation, whereas 11.60% in commercial areas, 1.02% in institutional areas, 0.55% in street sweeps and 0.96% in other areas. About 50% of total generated waste is disposed daily to the dumping site and the rest remains uncollected and unmanaged. Non-governmental organizations and community based organizations play an important role in primary collection, composting of organic wastes and medical waste management.

The EU environmental legislative output includes over 300 legal acts which are aimed at the improvement of environmental quality, whereas their majority is focused on environmental protection and elimination of potential trade barriers, those might arise because of lacking uniform ecological standards. It is assumed, that integration with EU, while covering also the adjustment in the field of environmental protection policy and law, will result in stimulation of development of the Polish economy, and in turn, in positive changes in the field of environmental protection. Waste management (for example medical waste management) issues have been one of the most difficult problems for its negotiation. The situation in the waste management sector is also changing, adjusting to existing and new regulations. A number of new acts and secondary legislation have adjusted domestic environmental protection requirements to those of the European Union. The Act on Waste of April 27, 2001 sets out the obligation of preparing and adopting waste management plans at all levels of self-government. The so-called introductory act sets out a very ambitious schedule for the implementation of these plans.The aim of this paper is showing the last changes in law regulation concerning waste management in Poland. It is strictly connected with our integration with UE.
