With an year of accumulation of virus, syringes are high on use. With no proper segregation, our government wasted the tenure ensuring their pockets fill high,from not getting the 5th vial from the vaccine to an unequal availability we still stand in this 21st century generating no lead for timely recycling of pollutants. To move ahead with the modern times, new types of WTE – such as gasification, pyrolysis, thermal depolymerisation and plasma arc gasification – have been developed and are leading the way to glory, but still the path is long and trying. In the present crisis we need to understand that we're soldiers and not pallbearers for our country. One of the biggest opportunities for cost savings is proper allocation of  what’s known as red bag waste versus municipal solid waste. Regulated medical waste that requires proper red bag medical waste disposal includes liquid or semi-liquid blood or other potentially infectious materials. Many hospitals routinely throw 50-70% of their waste into the bio-hazardous waste stream, even though a large percentage of hospital or medical facility waste is very similar to that of an office building. The economic impact of these errors is significant: red bag waste costs up to 10 times more for disposal than municipal solid waste and up to 30 times more than recycling. With an advent of audacious minds, Sterilwave is an innovative solution that converts this biohazardous waste into dry and inert waste, with a weight reduction of over 25% and with a volume reduction of 80%. Biomedical waste, however, can be rendered safe and unobjectionable, aesthetically and environmentally, if health care facility managers implement the requirements and recommendations of several codes of practice and technical advice, which are simple and inexpensive. So this is the time when we need to act and let our ozone blanket us without a hole, lower down the plastic consumption and shift to newer technologies for following the 5R's thus making this place a better place to live.
Let's carry the tag of citizens to enjoy the journey named life with less pollutants.
