Bob Kulas - Senior Waste Consultant, specializing in the disposal of Regulated Medical Waste (RMW), Sharps, DialysisOne of the biggest challenges for the medical industry is how to handle medical waste. RMW disposal presents both a safety and a liability risk – in handling, aggregating and storage in the facility. Pathogens remain dangerous in the facility, and facilities remain liable until the RMW is disposed of properly. In addition, the process is labor intensive, involving boxing, labeling and regulatory record keeping, and it's projected to become more expensive, as transportation and other factors rise. Current RMW hauling is inconsistent with healthcare sustainability objectives. Carbon emissions from truck and incineration plants are extremely high, and the amount of waste deposited remains the same. In addition, the EPA has issued two proposals aimed at reducing methane-rich gas from municipal solid waste landfills by nearly a third lower than current requirements.Clearly a more cost-effective and environmentally-conscious solution is needed. I have a product that can help you meet that challenge. It is currently the only device that converts medical waste into solid, sterile material. It increases safety, reduces liability, reduces labor costs, and offers significant overall cost savings. Contact me to learn more.
