There are three types of Healthcare Risk Waste (HRW) generated in Irish healthcare facilities. These are regular infectious waste, cytotoxic/cytostatic waste and recognizably anatomical waste.
This is regular Healthcare Risk Waste and consists of waste in soft yellow bags, sharps containers or rigid bins.
This waste is collected by us and is treated in Ireland using a high temperature disinfection process.
This type of waste describes any waste that is contaminated by cytotoxic or cytostatic medicines, which typically arise from the use of chemotherapy drugs, birth control or chloramphenicol.
This waste must be put into purple lidded containers and must be exported to Europe for high temperature incineration (>1,000°C)
This waste category covers:
• Recognizable anatomical waste
• Blood or tissue suspected of CJD contamination
• Metal objects
• Non autoclaved risk group 2 & 3 lab cultures
This waste must be put into black lidded UN approved containers and must be exported to Europe for high temperature incineration (>1,000°C)
