Segregation of Sources

Segregation is the separation of different types of waste by sorting or the systemic separation of Bio-medical waste into designated categories

It is the most important step in the entire process of Bio-medical waste management as it needs special attention to be given to the relatively small quantities of infectious and hazardous waste, thereby reducing not only the risks but also the cost of handling, treatment and disposal.

For example if general waste gets mixed with infectious wastes the whole waste has to be incinerated which may prove to be costly.

Segregation of Bio-medical waste in appropriate colour coded containers is the most important aspect of Bio-medical waste management. We provide extensive training to the appropriate staff of the affiliated HCE before starting service to the institution using latest technology tools like laptops and projectors.
