Decontamination unit
Once ground up and heated in our decontamination unit, waste is transformed into inert matter that can be sent on to standard treatment channels.
At our Séché Healthcare facility in Poitiers, our team collects, transports and treats potentially infectious medical waste (PIMW).
PIMW includes all medical waste that could contain infectious substances.
For example, sharps and soft waste such as blood bags and waste from operating theaters:
- Syringes and needles
- Used compresses
- Masks
- Clothing worn by hospital personnel
- Soiled sheets, etc.
We provide safe and tailored waste management solutions to healthcare professionals including veterinarians, doctors, dentists, nurses, gynecologists and healthcare establishments such as clinical laboratories, care homes, clinics and hospitals.
Our processes fully comply with regulatory requirements governing this kind of waste. We therefore supply our clients with suitable containers to collect the different types of PIMW, which we then treat to eliminate the infectious substances and make them safe to handle. Once decontaminated, the waste is safely transferred to the appropriate treatment and recovery channels.
