Original Abstract

Right medical waste treatment can prevent possible danger within manipulation and disposal of the waste. Medical waste can contain a high percentage of infectious waste that has to be treated with special requirements. This paper focuses on various methods for treating medical waste. There are a number of different methods to decontaminate infectious waste. For this paper, the three most promising methods were chosen: steam sterilization, incineration and shredding. These methods will be described technically and compared with each other. Various indicators will be observed and studied, such as the possible type and amount of input waste, energy and time demands, output waste conditions and possibilities for further treating the output material. The main target is to provide a complete description of each method with its characteristics, and a list of advantages and disadvantages.
