Wei Fook section BBCA perpetual class hospitals promote biomedical waste recycling program, from 103 in January to 104 in December, will be more than 50,000 kg of bio medical waste into a renewable resource, is eligible for the Ministry of Health, Welfare Health Promotion Hospital Eco Excellence award.

 

Fengyuan Hospital General director Zongming said bio-medical waste problem because of infection, the current disposal is incineration-based, high processing costs and the value of non-use, the incineration process also produces dioxin and other air pollution.

 

Re-use for which the plastic material, removing infection after sterilization concerns, made of plastic materials, not only to deal with a relatively low cost, and can achieve ecologically sustainable value.

 

For example, dialysis filters (artificial kidney) and catheter sterilized after regeneration, into plastic particles, through recycling, can be made cell phone case, car lamp housing fan, cones barricades and other plastic products.

 

Undertaker Huang Jianzhi said hemodialysis room biomedical waste recycling is the most important source, Fengyuan Hospital dialysis room full implementation of classification, filters, disposable catheters, injection putter, a syringe without needle and other waste collection yellow plastic bag removal sterilized handled by a legal firm.

 

High temperature and pressure sterilization process, through 121 degrees Celsius, more than 1.06 kilograms per square centimeter pressure, heated for 60 minutes; or 135 degrees Celsius, more than 2.18 kilograms per square centimeter pressure, heated for 45 minutes after completion of sterilization, after crushing classification is regeneration resources.

 

Fengyuan Hospital sterilized replace incineration, treatment hemodialysis room biomedical waste, the implementation two years, recovering more than 50,000 kilograms, before they destroyed by incineration, recycling has now become plastic particles.

 

Red road cones barricades are PVC material, the predecessor of dialysis catheter may be used by patients; Phone Case PC material, may also be the predecessor of artificial kidney; syringe PP material may become automotive lamp housing fan. Recycled eco-friendly practices to reduce pollution and make the world sustainable energy resources constantly.
