Cytotoxic waste solution
Incineration of medical waste is a specialised process which works effectively to mitigate the risk irresponsible disposal of cytotoxic waste presents.
Pharmaceutical waste is also hazardous and able to cause harm to humans and animals alike. This leads to increased demand for waste management tools to ensure any hazardous waste is handled safely, doesn’t expose people to harm and is prevented from impacting our environment negatively.
What is cytotoxic waste?
Cytotoxic drugs are medicines which contain chemicals that are toxic to cells, preventing replication or growth.
They are used widely across hospitals, hospices, care homes and domestic homes. However, because of their toxic nature, they pose a risk to anyone who handles them. Those administering and receiving these types of medicine are told to wear gloves, gowns and face masks to protect themselves.
Some examples of cytotoxic waste are:
Why should you incinerate cytotoxic waste?
Many medical institutions have come to rely on collection of clinical waste through private contractors. This is an expensive choice to make and requires diligent handling of cytotoxic waste while it remains on medical premises, pre-collection.
“Hospitals have long used on-site incinerators to destroy clinical waste. High temperature incineration ensure full destruction of severely dangerous waste.”
World health and monitoring organisations, including the WHO, DEA and UN, recommend the use of specialised, built-for-purpose medical incinerators as the best process to manage cytotoxic waste.
