Audits performed by the Victorian Department of Health have shown that up to 60 per cent of clinical waste consists of general waste or recyclable materials and that 45 per cent of general waste is recyclable.
Working with Medcycle to plan, develop and conduct a detailed waste audit will provide you with valuable data and insights to:
Assess contamination in core waste streams
Characterise and quantify waste streams
Identify waste diversion opportunities
Identify source reduction opportunities
Assess contamination in core waste streams
Assess the effectiveness of waste management systems and identify ways to improve its efficiency
Our waste audits can also be used as a means of establishing a baseline that can assist with trend reporting and benchmarking against other facilities.
We offer simple visual waste assessments through to whole of facility detailed compositional waste audits.
Visual waste assessments while providing a generalised overview of waste, do not generate the data required to establish a benchmark, making it difficult to assess whether improvements to waste management systems have been achieved.
Therefore, we recommend that compositional waste audits are conducted.If you would like to find about more about how we can assist you with your waste audits requirements, then please complete this form and a member of our team will be in touch.
