This waste takes up excessive space in hospital general waste bins and in most instances, these are treated as clinical waste which is also a huge financial cost. We will work with your team to design a collection schedule that works for your facility. After each collection, items are washed and consolidated prior to shipment to sterilisation facilities in multiple states, where we use suitable Gama, Ethelene oxidization, x-ray and electron beam radiate processes.
Once sterilised the devices are sorted and prepared for processing. The material then goes through a mechanical separation process that separates various commodities such as the polymers and metals. These materials are then passed on to specialised manufacturers to produce new products.
Surgical devices are collected in custom boxes and receptacles with inner bins that facilitate collection, storage, secure transportation for sterilisation processing and EPA requirements.Collections can be booked on request or can be on an agreed schedule.
Medcycle consists of a team of dedicated industry professionals with extensive experience in waste and recycling, logistics, training and education, stakeholder engagement and sustainability reporting.
We work with you to educate staff, using educational material tailored to your specific needs. We also focus on continued learning and education so that staff remain aware of and keep up to date with program changes.
Absolute transparency is what we are all about. We only offer services where viable end markets exist for recovered materials, and our detailed service reporting provides real time access to data and information that can be used to support sustainability reporting.
Any materials containing sharps or biohazards.
Manual and automated processes are used to sort the products and break them down. We then use specialised technology to maximise the recovery rate of recyclable items.
