Get in touchWhat is Anatomical waste
A healthcare waste stream most commonly found with our surgical practice customers, commonly from sharps, ‘anatomical’ is the term used to categorise any items of tissue waste associated with medical waste procedures. Using a red bin lid, the red anatomical waste stream containers are used to collect and segregate both human and animal body parts, organs, or blood preserves arriving from surgical procedures.
Anatomical is segregated into infectious waste (hazardous) and non-infectious waste (non-hazardous) items and always requires incinerating. Reconomy's service is usually carried out through bins that allow a customer to segregate the waste for efficient disposal treatment.
