Clinical Waste.
Safe and Compliant Clinical Waste Management Services
At Wastetech, we provide a fully compliant clinical waste management service, ensuring that all waste is disposed of safely and responsibly, with minimal impact on human health and the environment. By law, clinical waste must not be disposed of outside of a domestic setting without a waste management licence, and stringent controls are in place to enforce safe disposal practices.
Clinical waste legislation mandates that items such as nappies, sanitary waste, and medical waste are disposed of in a legally compliant manner to reduce infection risks. While strict regulations apply, innovative solutions are available to enable sustainable management for certain types of clinical waste.
Understanding Clinical Waste Regulations
Clinical waste is closely regulated under the Controlled Waste Regulations 1992. It includes any product wholly or partially consisting of:
- Human or animal tissue
- Blood or bodily fluids
- Excretions
- Drugs or other pharmaceutical products
- Paints, paint strippers, and wood treatments
- Swabs or dressings
- Syringes, needles, or other sharp instruments that may pose a risk if not rendered safe
- Any waste arising from medical, nursing, dental, veterinary, pharmaceutical, or similar practices, including investigation, treatment, teaching, or research
