Onsite Waste Technologies
OnSite Waste Technology is a firm located in Newport Beach, California. We
are committed to lowering the risk, cost, and effects that medical waste
treatment and disposal leave on the environment. Our current technology
TE-5000 is a processing unit of the size of a desktop but transforms the
waste, including syringes into disinfected garbage. It lessens the CO2
influence by lessening waste. Our mission is to reduce the transportation of
waste to any common location. We are dedicated to presenting greener and
cleaner options for processing the disposal of medical wastes. We also look
forward to assisting NGOs, first responders, and government agencies to
dispose of large quantities of sharps waste to minimize the risk for
community members, workers, and others.
Types of Biomedical Waste
Disposal Solutions
The regulations for medical waste disposal were quite lax before the 1980s.
However, when the AIDS epidemic started to spread, it spurred the need for
strict regulations concerning the disposal of used medical supplies. Waste
disposal is very important, especially so for medical supplies because they
are hazardous materials and can be contaminated with diseases or
dangerous pathogens.
Though strict rules and regulations for medical waste disposal have been
set, it is important to take additional steps to ensure that they do not have
any impact on the environment. Not every biomedical waste is disposed in
the same way, and currently, various waste disposal solutions have been
introduced along with the traditional practices, which can help to get rid of
the medical waste safely.
Biomedical Waste Disposal Solutions
There are several ways to dispose of biomedical waste. However, owing to
the highly sensitive component, it is important to do it in such a way that it
neither affects the environment nor harms human beings. Every state
follows specific techniques of waste disposal. Some of them are described
here:
Incineration
Biomedical wastes can be taken care of by incinerating them. The major
benefits of this process are that it is very easy, simple, and quick. It is not
only effective in removing the waste completely but also highly efficient in
safely removing any microorganisms that are present on such materials.
However, emissions from burning such hazardous materials can be
particularly dangerous. Though some states prefer the incineration
technique, however, the materials must be reviewed and determined to be
safe for burning.
Chemical Treatment
In the case of liquid waste, the most common method of biomedical waste disposal is
chemical disinfection. Chlorine is the most preferred choice to execute this process. It is
introduced to the liquid waste so that the microorganisms and pathogens could be
destroyed and killed. Chemical disposal can be applied to solid wastes as well, though they
should be ground first to ensure maximum decontamination. The liquid waste when
decontaminated is usually disposed of into the sewer system.
Conclusion
All of the above mention techniques have certain pros and cons. However, depending on
state compliances and other feasibility factors, the best waste disposal solution can vary
from state to state. Though incineration is the most common practice, it might not be the
most advantageous one. Autoclaving is perhaps a safer option as compared to incineration,
as steam is not harmful. The thermal elimination process, on the other hand, has no
hazardous emissions, and neither are they too expensive. Furthermore, the fact this process
works for most of the biomedical waste is also advantageous. Chemical treatment is mostly
used for liquid wastes.
