Jiangmen (CNS) -- Guangdong police have uncovered five illegal medical waste processing sites in Jiangmen and detained 21 suspects, according to the local publicity department on Wednesday.

We are now trying to track down the source of waste, police said, although medical staff from the city's three major hospitals don't appear to be involved.

Police said they received reports in July of a plant collecting used syringes, infusion tubes and other medical waste to make plastic products. An investigation was launched not long after.
