The processing system for medical waste shown on the web site has been in daily use by United States hospitals for over 20 years. This technology is approved by the USEPA and every state health department. This equipment can be used by one hospital or as a collection site for multiple hospitals. There is no other system of disposing of bio hazardous waste without causing dangerous air emissions, excessive costs and transportation problems. We invite you to watch the video. Call (713) 443 5064 if you have any questions or if you need additional information. Thank you. Tom Devine, President
