Florida, FL (prHWY.com) October 6, 2012 - Florida, Oct 02, 2012 - There are many things that need to be taken into consideration when discussing Medical Waste management such as disposal methods, recycling methods, avoidance and reduction methods, and transportation of Medical Waste. All of these topics will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

There are a few ways to dispose of Medical Waste materials. The two main methods of disposing of Medical Waste materials is landfills and incineration. Each methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Landfills involves burying the Medical Waste to get rid of it. This method if done properly can be very inexpensive and hygienic. Many people probably think this method would be very unhygienic but that really depends if it is done properly or not.

Sharps Waste North Carolina - There are some countries that do not do this method properly and it can cause such issues as wind-blown litter, attraction of vermin, and generation of liquid leachate (the liquid that drains from a landfill). Another issue that might arise from landfills is gas (usually methane and carbon dioxide) when the Medical Waste breaks down over time. Usually landfills are established in diused quarries (type of open-pit mine), mining voids or borrow pits (an area where soil, gravel or sand has been dug for use in another location). Although there are a lot of negative effects of landfills if poorly designed most new ones are designed in a way to prevent negative effects.

Incineration is the second method of disposing Medical Waste. This method involves the combustion of Medical Waste materials. With this method the Medical Waste material is heated to very high temperatures and is converted into materials such as: heat, gas, steam and ash. Incineration can be done on a small scale by individual people such as in a fire and also done on a much large scale by an industry. This method of Medical Waste management is considered beneficial for such materials as medical Medical Waste. This method however is also a very controversial method of Medical Waste disposal because of the emission of gaseous pollutants (green house effect).

Recycling Methods Recyling refers to the reuse or recover of materials that would normally be considered Medical Waste. There are a few different methods of recycling such as: physical reprocessing, biological reprocessing, and energy recovery. People are always looking for new ways as well to recycle materials because of the constant issues we are having with Medical Waste in our environment.

One of the most popular method of recyling is physical reprocessing. This is common in most countries. This is the method of taking Medical Waste materials such as empty beverage containers and using the material to create new materials. Normally Medical Waste materials that can be physically reprocessed are usually collected by the local government and are then reprocessed into new products. Some common materials that are physically reprocessed include: aluminum beverage cans, steel food cans, glass bottles, newpapers, magazines, and cardboard.
