It is no surprise that with a global pandemic, comes an increase in infectious clinical waste, whether it be from Covid-19 testing facilities or increased hospital admissions. The management and treatment of such waste has become a challenge for the healthcare industry.
A typical Covid-19 patient can produce roughly double the amount of waste compared to a non-covid patient. Most of this waste will be due to additional PPE, cleaning products and wipes – but this all needs to be disposed of in a safe and secure manner.
Andusia Hazchem Treatment has signed a contract with the UK’s leading facilities services provider, phs Group, for the supply of clinical waste disposal at the new Malvern waste treatment plant, where Andusia is the sole supplier.
The plant, which has been developed in an existing, retired plant, is the first of its kind to be built in the UK in the last decade and will become operational this month after experiencing construction delays due to Covid-19.
