Disposal of healthcare waste (E02-14)

Hospitals, surgeries, laboratories and other healthcare institutions also generate waste that may pose a risk of infection or another health risk. Such waste therefore cannot be handled in the same way as ordinary municipal waste. Safe waste management begins with proper segregation at the point where the waste arises. Healthcare waste must be collected in safe packaging and collection containers designed for this purpose. It is then collected and transported under controlled conditions. Throughout the process, the primary consideration is the protection of human health and of the environment. The waste is then sent to a disposal process appropriate to its properties. For this type of waste the most important objective is not the recovery of material but the safe elimination of the hazard. Professional treatment prevents infectious or other hazardous material from entering the environment in an uncontrolled way. DESIGN Kft.'s services also include the collection and disposal of healthcare waste.
