EDITORIAL
The Era of Smart Medical Waste Management Solutions
Innovation and sustainability in healthcare waste management go hand in hand. With medical waste becoming more complex and abundant, healthcare organisations are stepping up. They’re implementing smarter strategies and taking on the challenge of responsible waste handling with a renewed focus on efficiency and environmental care.
One standout advancement is touchless disposal systems, which are reshaping waste handling in healthcare settings by minimising human contact. These systems use sensors and automation to ensure waste is disposed of safely and hygienically, reducing the risk of contamination for healthcare workers and patients.
At the same time, advanced disinfection technologies are elevating how medical waste is treated. Innovations such as UV-C light sterilisation and ozonebased systems are being adopted to neutralise pathogens more effectively. These methods not only ensure that waste is rendered harmless before disposal but reduce the need for harsh chemicals, making them a safer and more sustainable option.
Driven by these trends, the global healthcare waste management size is projected to reach $19.4 billion by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of 13 percent.
This edition of the Healthcare Business Review Europe offers insights into the latest treatment innovations and how companies align with these trends.
The magazine features a thought-provoking article from Rachelle Petika, DNP, MBA, FNP-C, Senior Director of Practice Health and Safety at ArchWell Health, where she emphasises the importance of fostering a ‘culture of safety’ in healthcare organisations. She highlights the need for leadership engagement, proactive measures and a focus on human factors as foundational to building and sustaining a strong culture of safety. Another article by Dr. Dennis Estep, Chief Medical Officer at Freeman Health System, provides a thorough analysis of the benefits of partnering with an occupational medicine provider.
