Methods to Bio Waste Disposal
When it comes to the proper disposal of bio waste, there are several options that are utilized. For solid bio waste the two most common options include autoclaving and microwaving. Autoclaves are used in many settings, especially medical facilities, as this is a proven way to sterilize items. Usually used on medical devices and instruments, autoclaving is also a proven method to sterilize solid items containing bio waste so that they can be disposed of with regular trash.
The other option for solid bio waste is with microwaving. This involves shredding the solid material and combining it with water, then heating it to kill all microorganisms. Both methods can deal with up to 90% of all solid bio waste. Liquid bio wastes are handled with chemical disinfection to ensure that they cannot infect someone.
