Managing pathological waste is a critical responsibility for healthcare and research facilities. This type of waste includes biological materials like tissues and organs that require careful handling to protect public health. At Specific Waste Industries (SWI), our team ensures that pathological waste is disposed of safely and legally. With licensed expertise, SWI offers tailored solutions to meet the individual needs of a variety of facilities while maintaining strict compliance with safety regulations.
What Is Pathological Waste?
Pathological waste is generated in healthcare, research, and veterinary settings and consists of human and animal matter, such as tissues, organs, and bodily fluids removed during medical procedures. Other examples include biopsy specimens and animal carcasses used in experiments. Improper disposal of these materials can result in contamination and potentially cause diseases to spread. For this reason, proper handling of pathological waste is essential.
