Sustainable Waste Management

Biome selectdical and Infectious Waste Management

Trash contaminated with blood and other body fluids (e.g. from discarded diagnostic samples), customs and stocks of infectious material from laboratory work (e.g. waste from post-mortem and infected animals from laboratories), or waste from infected patients (e.g. and disposal) medical equipment)

The primary methods of treating medical waste are:

• Incineration
• Autoclaves
• Mechanical/Chemical Disinfection
• Microwave
• Irradiation
• Vitrification

Sharps & Waste such as needles, scapels, broken glass and razors. Pathological debris & human or animal tissues, organs, blood and fluids. Medicinal Trash & Unused and Outdated Drugs, such as creams, pills, antibiotics.

There are many heat-resistant technologies sold to treat infectious waste. They can be classified as thermal, chemical, biological or glossy technologies.

The most common is autoclaving. This uses high pressure steam, usually 121-134oC, to disinfect waste for recycling and disposal.

Autoclaving is a highly flexible and well-known technology in many hospitals as it is used in sterilization surgery.
