O3 PureMed, a service of Clym Environmental, is at the forefront of innovative medical waste management, providing sustainable and efficient solutions to the healthcare sector. In the U.S., over 465,000 tons of medical and biohazardous waste are generated annually, relying heavily on outdated thermal processes like incineration and autoclaving, which contribute to significant air and environmental pollution. O3 PureMed addresses these issues by revolutionizing the medical waste disposal process, ensuring that it is safe and environmentally friendly.
The process begins with waste pickup, where medical waste is collected and transported to the O3 PureMed facility. This approach eliminates the need for refrigeration and specialized packaging, significantly reducing waste handling. Once at the facility, an industrial shredder is employed to reduce the waste volume by up to 90%, rendering it unrecognizable and further mitigating environmental impact. The waste then undergoes a sanitization process utilizing highly concentrated ozone (O₃), which effectively destroys pathogens without producing harmful byproducts. This method avoids air pollution and does not contaminate water sources, making it a truly eco-friendly alternative to traditional disposal methods.
Ultimately, the sanitized and shredded waste can be disposed of alongside regular waste, making the entire operation not only efficient but also cost-competitive with conventional processes. By prioritizing consistent communication and customer service, O3 PureMed aims to meet the evolving needs of healthcare facilities, ensuring they receive reliable support in managing their medical waste in a simple, sustainable manner. O3 PureMed is committed to changing the landscape of medical waste management, prioritizing both environmental protection and public health.
