Know Your Waste Streams Hack #1
12 Waste Minimization Hacks for the Healthcare Industry

Healthcare is unique in that it produces a wide variety of waste streams. There are: • Liquid • Solid • Hazardous • Radioactive • Air emissions• Medical • and more!! By knowing and classifying all you’re waste outputs, you can find the best solution for your company.

Know Your Waste Streams
12 Waste Minimization Hacks for the Healthcare Industry

An example: You’re generating a lot of regulated medical waste (RMW). When classifying your streams you discover that a lot of the waste in that stream is not RMW, but instead solid waste. You can now come up with a strategy to segregate the solid waste and save the money you’d spend on disposing of it as RMW.

Look for Repurposing Options
Finding incineration alternatives is important to the minimization of your waste. This could be anything from wastewater treatment to recycling to waste to energy. In terms of regulated medical waste, repurposing options are largely untapped. Keep an eye out for new opportunities as they become more popular.

Look for Repurposing Options
Looking for places that will buy your waste products is an even better option. This strategy is common in other industries but has yet to find a foothold in healthcare. Even so, just because it’s not common doesn’t mean you can’t do it. There are several repurposing options for blue wrap and metal recycling available to the healthcare industry.

Donate Surplus
If you find that your institution often purchases too many of certain products or if there are excess products being thrown away, start with donating them to other hospitals or relief organizations. From there, assess why your institution has a surplus of those materials and if you should cut down in purchasing them.

Substitute Hazardous with Nonhazardous.
Finding nonhazardous substitutes for hazardous wastes can greatly simplify and reduce costs for your waste removal process. We recommend looking for substitutes for P-listed chemicals first, as even a small amount of one of these could classify your facility as being a large quantity generator.
