Medical Waste

En règle générale, les établissements médicaux produisent au moins 10 flux de déchets différents – notamment des déchets biologiques dangereux de type « sacs rouges », des récipients pour objets tranchants, du sang et des fluides corporels, entres autres. La combustion ou l'incinération thermique représente le moyen le plus efficace d'éliminer les déchets médicaux en toute sécurité. La majorité de ceux-ci sont soumis à des exigences réglementaires très spécifiques, assorties d'une documentation de conformité obligatoire. L'incinération garantit un assainissement intégral qui limite la propagation des maladies et la contamination croisée.
