Possible sending strategies for disposal
provided in chapter II of the D.P.R. n. 254/2003
The chain of incineration of hazardous medical waste at infectious risk owes its impacts substantially to three fundamental aspects:
- road transport;
- the combustion of the waste itself;
- high costs;
On the other hand, in the case of the sterilization process, these impacts are considerably reduced, obtaining a final product sterilized and no longer dangerous, without harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
