In this post we look at the current state of affairs within the medical sector, what can be done to help and what we can do to make sure that medical staff are not only safe whilst saving lives but not having to worry about the waste that is being created in the process.

It`s no surprise that medical waste is on the rise. Since the pandemic began in late 2019 there has been just short

Background to Abattoir waste:

Around 200 million land animals a day are killed to feed the human population, it is not the meat that is coming off these animals that is the issue as this will all but be consumed, the issue is what is done with the remains. This is where the true issues lie, the diseases, the viruses and the transmissibility can all have detrimental effects on human and livestock populations alike.

REMOTENESS...for some the dream, for others despair. For mining and oil companies it`s a commonly faced obstacle in the way of their waste management strategies. It is easy for people to forget their own morals when no one is looking, to not care about leaving waste with no one around.

Anybody who works in a health care environment such as a hospital, dental office, veterinary practice or any kind of laboratory, knows that the waste produced should be handled in a specific way. Waste types from these environments have strict disposal guidelines and laws for handling and categorisation.

Before the Coronavirus Pandemic hit, doing our day job remotely from home was unheard of, unless it was special circumstances. Although some of us may have returned to the office, working from home for most people will become the new office.

COVID-19 is not the first pandemic the world has experienced. As such, there are lessons to be learnt which can aid an efficient slow down in the spread of this disease.

During the outbreaks of SARS and Ebola, for example, efficient waste management processes were implemented which acted as an integral force in halting their spread, which ultimately led to the saving of many lives.

However, while Governments pay close attention to the ways in which hospitals care

In a hospital or medical environment, preventing and delaying the spread of Coronavirus goes far beyond washing hands. Good biosecurity is essential, and the safe disposal of infected waste will save lives.

The scale of the current situation, particularly in countries such as the UK which has never seen an outbreak of infectious disease of this magnitude, may seem overwhelming for those on the front line. But these are well chartered waters for us at Inciner8, one of the worl
