Question

What is the easiest way to become free from infectious waste?

Answer 1

Autoclaving

Autoclaving — which uses a heated container to destroy waste — is one of the most effective ways to deal with biohazard wastes. In fact, about 90% of biohazard waste is autoclaved or incinerated at roughly 2,400 medical waste incinerators (MWI) across the United States.

Chemical Disinfection

Some types of biohazard waste, like solid animal wastes, can be disinfected chemically. Afterwards, they can be deposited in a landfill, where they won’t pose any threat of spreading infections.

Encapsulation

One type of biohazard waste known as sharps requires that special precautions be taken. Sharps are, as the name implies, sharp, and can easily tear or puncture what’s containing them, which can consequentially allow them to easily spread infection.

Answer 2

The healthcare facilities label the plastic bag "biohazard" and dispose of the plastic bag as infectious waste. If not contaminated, the plastic transport bags are not considered infectious waste and may be disposed of as solid waste.
