Comparison of Medical Waste Treatment Methods Criteria Incineration (HICLOVER) Autoclaving (Steam Sterilization) Microwave Treatment Effectiveness Destroys all medical waste types (ACE): infectious, pathological, sharps, pharmaceuticals, and chemical waste. Sterilizes infectious waste (Category A); not effective for pathological, pharmaceutical, or chemical waste. Disinfects infectious and sharps waste; limited for pharmaceuticals and chemical waste. Volume Reduction Up […]
Comparing Incineration, Autoclaving, and Microwave Treatment for Medical Waste Management Proper treatment of medical waste is critical for protecting public health and the environment. Globally, three common methods are applied: incineration, high-pressure steam sterilization (autoclaving), and high-energy microwave treatment. Each has its advantages and limitations, but when evaluated in terms of effectiveness, speed of implementation, […]
Medical Waste Classification (ABCDE) and the Role of HICLOVER Incinerators In the field of healthcare waste management, the “ABCDE classification” is widely used to define the categories of medical waste. This system is followed in China and adopted in several African and Asian countries with slight variations. Understanding these categories is essential for selecting the […]
