Healthcare waste management<\/p>\n

Treat infectious healthcare and laboratory waste at source<\/h1>\n

Sterilwave combines shredding and microwave treatment in one closed vessel. SimpleComply helps you select, finance, implement and maintain the right configuration for your facility.<\/p>\n

More control over safety, logistics and cost<\/h2>\n

On-site treatment can reduce the storage time and external transport of infectious waste. The process is fully electric, uses no steam pressure or chemicals, and produces no liquid effluent during treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Safer workflow<\/h3>\n

Shorten the internal journey and residence time of untreated infectious waste.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Predictable uptime<\/h3>\n

Gain direct control over treatment timing, capacity and process traceability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Less transport<\/h3>\n

Reduce dependence on collection schedules and external transport movements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Less waste<\/h3>\n

Shredding substantially reduces volume. Actual results depend on the model and waste composition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Load<\/h3>\n

Approved healthcare waste is loaded according to your operating procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shred<\/h3>\n

A rotating blade makes the waste unrecognisable and increases treatment efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Treat<\/h3>\n

Microwave energy heats the material during a validated decontamination cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unload<\/h3>\n

The output is dry, stable and inert. Classification and disposal remain subject to local rules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Evidence & validation<\/p>\n

Evidence for safety, compliance and investment decisions<\/h2>\n

Healthcare waste treatment is not selected on capacity alone. Microbiological performance, occupational hygiene, environmental conditions, logistics, validation and the authorised downstream route must work together. SimpleComply turns these requirements into a transparent, site-specific decision and validation file.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Microbiological assurance<\/h3>\n

Bertin reports microbial inactivation of up to 8 log10 for Sterilwave using shredding and microwave treatment. We treat this as a performance claim to be demonstrated under defined loading, cycle and monitoring conditions, not as a universal guarantee of absolute sterility. SimpleComply prepares the waste acceptance matrix, site-specific validation plan and auditable evidence file.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Occupational hygiene & biosafety<\/h3>\n

We integrate the installation into the occupational risk assessment, including waste acceptance, closed handling, sharps risk, exposure moments, operating procedures, PPE, training, maintenance and incident response. Equipment is one control measure within the complete safety system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Environment & downstream route<\/h3>\n

According to Bertin, the process uses no process water, produces no liquid effluent during treatment and involves no combustion. Our assessment also covers electricity, vapour and odour, noise, transport, storage, waste classification and the authorised destination of the treated material. We can also advise on practical waste separation solutions after treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Procurement & logistics<\/h3>\n

Capacity is based on measured volumes, composition and peak loads. We assess location, utilities, internal routes, storage, life-cycle cost, service availability, maintenance, training, purchase, financing and leasing so procurement receives a complete and comparable business case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
