The issue of medical waste is increasingly relevant: the recent Covid-19 pandemic with its resulting economic consequences has underlined how crucial it is to have integrated and definitive solutions.
Hospitals and private healthcare facilities of all sizes are faced with complex and costly procedures for medical waste management.
The storage, transport, and treatment of infectious hospital waste constitute one the highest costs for the healthcare industry, both economically/financially and from an environmental standpoint.
TREATING WASTE AT THE SOURCE (AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE EU WASTE MANAGEMENT LEGISLATION: “PROXIMITY: WASTE SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF AS CLOSE TO THE SOURCE AS POSSIBLE”).
REDUCE WASTE VOLUMES TO LIMIT POLLUTION DUE TO TRANSPORTATION.
ADOPT ALL MEASURES TO PROMOTE RECYCLING AND REUSE OF PRESENT OR FUTURE WASTE (END OF WASTE).
The cumulative effect of these guidelines is pushing legislators to promote on-site medical waste sterilization and treatment.
Cisa Group is leading the field with the invention of a Waste Sterile Department (WSD®), which is based on and adapts the principle of the CSSD , from which the new technology for medical waste treatment is directly derived.
