Hidden Costs of Conventional Medical Waste Management

Conventional medical waste management depends largely on transportation and incineration — processes that carry significant but often overlooked costs.

Beyond direct disposal fees, these systems increase logistical complexity, environmental impact and operational risk, while becoming less aligned with modern sustainability and safety standards.

As a result, healthcare facilities are rethinking how medical, biological and pathological waste should be treated — prioritizing on-site, low-emission and controlled solutions.

High logistics and disposal costs

Transport, storage and off-site treatment significantly increase operational expenses over time.

Environmental pressure

Incineration generates emissions that conflict with modern sustainability targets and evolving regulatory expectations.

Safety and infection risks

Handling and moving untreated waste exposes staff to avoidable operational and biological hazards.

EnviraClean Systems

A new generation of on-site medical waste treatment technologies that reduce emissions, eliminate incineration and simplify waste management.

EnviraClean Patho

High-level disinfection of pathological and biological waste using alkaline hydrolysis combined with ozone technology.

Provides safe, compliant and environmentally responsible on-site treatment.

EnviraClean Solid

On-site disinfection and volume reduction of solid medical waste through integrated shredding, ozone and UV processes.

Reduces logistics, emissions and operating costs.

EnviraClean Liquid

Advanced microbial inactivation of liquid medical waste using ozone and UV.

Designed for hospitals and laboratories requiring safe, controlled and low-emission effluent treatment.

Why On-Site Medical Waste Treatment Matters

EnviraClean Systems represent Enviramed’s approach to on-site medical waste treatment.

By enabling waste to be treated directly at the source, Enviramed helps institutions move away from transport- and incineration-based disposal models toward safer, cleaner and more controllable waste management practices.

Key Benefits

Predictable costs and operational control

EnviraClean systems eliminate transport, storage and third-party dependency.

By treating waste on-site, healthcare facilities gain full operational and financial control, avoiding recurring logistics costs and long-term reliance on external service contracts.

Lower emissions, easier compliance

Designed by Enviramed to meet modern environmental expectations.

EnviraClean technologies replace incineration with low-emission processes such as ozone, UV and alkaline hydrolysis, supporting sustainability targets and evolving regulatory frameworks.

Safer working environments

Closed, automated treatment with minimal human contact.

EnviraClean systems reduce handling of untreated waste, lowering biological and operational risks for staff through controlled and automated disinfection cycles.

Purpose-built systems for each waste stream

Pathological, solid and liquid waste — treated with dedicated technologies.

Enviramed designs EnviraClean systems specifically for different waste categories, ensuring optimal treatment efficiency without one-size-fits-all compromises.

Independence from external service providers

Treat waste when you need to — not when a contractor is available.

On-site systems remove reliance on external disposal schedules, improving operational continuity and emergency preparedness.

Our Technology

Purpose-built technologies for safe, low-emission on-site treatment

EnviraMed’s technology approach is based on a simple principle: different medical waste streams require different treatment methods.

Instead of relying on a single, generalized process, EnviraClean systems integrate dedicated technologies tailored to pathological, solid and liquid medical waste — ensuring effective disinfection, operational safety and environmental responsibility.

All EnviraClean systems are designed for on-site operation, closed-cycle processing and controlled treatment without incineration.

Alkaline hydrolysis is used in EnviraClean Patho systems to safely process pathological and high-risk biological materials.

This method:

• Breaks down organic tissues under controlled conditions

• Achieves high-level biological inactivation

• Operates without combustion or harmful emissions

By combining alkaline hydrolysis with ozone-assisted processes, EnviraClean Patho enables safe, compliant and environmentally responsible treatment of tissues, organs and biological materials directly at the source.

EnviraClean Patho

EnviraClean Solid systems use ozone as a powerful oxidizing agent to disinfect contaminated solid medical waste.

Key characteristics:

• Effective microbial inactivation

• Integrated volume reduction through shredding

• Reduced reliance on chemical disinfectants

Ozone treatment allows contaminated solids such as sharps and medical disposables to be rendered safe for handling, while significantly reducing waste volume and downstream logistics.

EnviraClean Solid

EnviraClean Liquid

Liquid medical waste presents unique challenges due to microbial load and discharge requirements.

EnviraClean Liquid systems combine:

• Ozone-based oxidation

• UV-assisted disinfection

This dual approach enables advanced microbial inactivation in infected liquids, laboratory effluents and microbiological waste streams, allowing treated liquids to be safely discharged into sewage systems in accordance with applicable standards.

About Us

EnviraMed's Sustainability-driven medical waste treatment technologies

EnviraMed is a technology brand focused on developing environmentally responsible, on-site medical waste treatment systems for modern healthcare environments.
The EnviraClean product family is engineered to reduce emissions, eliminate reliance on incineration and support safer, more sustainable waste management practices at the source.

EnviraClean systems are engineered and developed by Tekgen, an R&D-driven engineering organization based in Türkiye, with extensive experience in medical, environmental and process-based technologies. This structure enables EnviraMed to combine applied research, engineering depth and practical operational insight into scalable and robust treatment solutions.

Designed with European environmental and safety expectations in mind

From the earliest design stages, EnviraClean systems are developed in alignment with European environmental, safety and operational principles.

EnviraMed’s engineering approach emphasizes:

• Low-emission, incineration-free treatment methods

• On-site processing to minimize transport-related environmental impact

• Closed-cycle system design to support safe and controlled operation

• Stream-specific treatment to avoid unnecessary processing and resource use

Rather than adapting legacy waste technologies, EnviraMed designs systems specifically to meet the technical and environmental expectations commonly applied across European healthcare and research facilities.

Regulation-aware, engineering-first development

EnviraClean systems are designed with a strong awareness of applicable EU regulatory frameworks, including safety, environmental performance and operational control requirements relevant to medical waste treatment systems.

Development is guided by:

• Risk-based engineering principles

• Process containment and automation

• Documentation-oriented system design

• Validation-ready architectures supporting conformity assessment processes

This approach allows EnviraClean systems to be positioned for integration into regulated healthcare environments, while maintaining flexibility for localization and market-specific compliance pathways.

International focus and European collaboration

EnviraMed operates with a clear international focus and actively engages with European distributors, system integrators and pilot partners seeking sustainable alternatives to conventional medical waste treatment.

Through transparent collaboration and technology-driven partnerships, EnviraMed aims to support the transition toward cleaner, safer and more responsible medical waste management practices across Europe.
