Veterinary PractitionersVeterinary Practitioners generate two forms of biological Waste viz. Infectious and Non-Infectious waste. Non-Infectious Waste will normally be the bulk of the Biological Waste produced and is historically disposed of as solid waste. This leads to unique problems where the public is concerned with offensive smells, insects, rodents and scavengers. Animal tissue, organs and carcasses that are infected by zoonotic or infectious agents are considered to be Infectious Waste. Disposal of this type of biological waste is extremely problematic and hazardous. Historical disposal options included incinerating, landfills, and burial. These disposal methods are not very effective, or too expensive and sometimes not very eco-friendly. Convertech sincerely believe in destroying pathogens and infectious agents at the source and have developed low and high-pressure digestors that offer cost-effective solutions to suit the need of Veterinary Practitioners. 0 visitor(s) commented on this articlePlease leave a comment
