What is Clinical Waste?

Clinical waste is defined as any solid waste generated during human diagnosis, treatment, or immunization. In the past, this type of waste was collected in specific bags and plastic boxes in clinical settings and then discarded like regular waste. However, it was immediately discovered that this technique might spread illnesses and viruses, potentially causing outbreaks. Many people mistakenly believe that clinical waste only consists of needles and other sharp equipment. There are a variety of additional substances and objects that might be classified as clinical waste, and it’s critical to know what they are so that your company can manage its trash correctly. The following items are found in clinical waste:

• Tissue from humans or animals
• The presence of blood or other body fluids
• Human excretions
• Pharmaceuticals (drugs and other pharmaceutical items).
• Swabs, dressings, and disposable protective equipment, such as medical gloves, are also available.
• Sharp instruments such as syringes, needles, or other sharp instruments.

While you might think that clinical waste recycling is exclusively needed by medical facilities, it is really used by a wide range of industries, including tattoo parlors.

Businesses That Need Clinical Waste Recycling

If your company falls into one of the categories listed below, it’s critical that you choose a reputable clinical waste recycling service like Liverpool Waste to help you with your waste management needs. We work with a wide range of businesses, from hospitals and local governments to tattoo parlours and acupuncture clinics, providing them with all of the necessary equipment and documentation for safe and responsible clinical waste disposal and recycling. The companies that produce clinical waste and the materials that they employ are described in detail below:

Doctors’ offices and dentistry practices are the most common types of businesses that require clinical waste solutions. Everything from human tissue and biological fluids to gum molds and syringes could be included.

Tattoo and piercing parlors: Tattooists use needles on a daily basis, and piercing specialists now utilize disposable needles rather than piercing guns, both of which must be disposed of appropriately. All tattooists and piercers are required by law to use surgical gloves and fresh swabs and dressings, which must be discarded in a clinical waste bin.

Beauty salons: From manicures and pedicures to minor plastic surgery, beauty salons today provide a wide range of treatments. When performing botox or a face filler procedure, a beauty specialist must use specialized needles and medical dressings, which must subsequently be discarded in a clinical waste container.

Nursing homes and hospices: Items like bedpans and dressings are frequently used in care facilities, and this form of trash (i.e. sanitary waste) must be carefully monitored. Clinical waste management can help with this. Patients may also receive routine medical procedures that necessitate the use of needles, in which case a clinical waste container is an excellent idea.

Veterinary surgery: Just like a doctor’s office, veterinarians employ a range of devices to treat animal patients, all of which must be discarded as clinical waste.

Laboratory or scientific research facilities: Organizations that conduct scientific testing – whether for medical or non-medical reasons – generate a variety of hazardous waste, such as laboratory specimens and tested medications, which must be appropriately disposed of.
