Infectious waste comprises materials contaminated with pathogens that can transmit diseases to humans or animals. This category includes items such as used medical gloves, cultures, swabs, and sharps contaminated with blood or bodily fluids. Proper disposal of infectious waste is essential to prevent the spread of infections and safeguard public health.
Infectious waste, known or suspected to be contaminated, necessitates specialised treatment to minimise risks. Stericycle offers bespoke solutions for managing infectious waste, including the disposal of contaminated clinical products, anatomical waste, and gypsum.
