Classification and acceptance

The waste category is known, but composition determines the route

Infectious clinical waste is not a completely uniform stream. Its source, materials and risk properties determine which treatment may be suitable and permitted.

Before treatment

Three checks prevent incorrect acceptance

The assessment connects with your waste policy, internal specialists and local requirements.

Source and composition

Medical, clinical, microbiological and research activities produce different fractions. The actual contents are therefore decisive.

Separate assessment

Anatomical, cytotoxic, cytostatic, chemical, radioactive and exceptional biological material does not automatically follow the same route.
