UMC Utrecht and SimpleComply carried out a pilot with a Sterilwave system for the on-site treatment of clearly defined infectious healthcare waste streams.
The project assessed the technology not only at nominal capacity, but also in relation to workflow, microbiological assurance, occupational safety, process records, logistics and the quality of the treated material. The parties involved described the pilot as successful at the time.
A responsible follow-up decision still requires site-specific validation and a documented waste route. Treatment does not automatically determine the legal classification or final destination. Actual capacity, volume and weight reduction and cost benefits also depend on waste composition, loading, operating conditions and the existing collection and treatment route.
SimpleComply connects this technical assessment with waste-stream analysis, the business case, purchase or leasing, installation, training, maintenance, permit support and advice on waste separation after treatment.
