Definitions
- the present invention patent describes a method of managing solid waste from health services in which recyclable solid waste is segregated internally at the generating unit and destined for processing units to be transformed into products, inputs and energy that return to the generating unit to be used in routine activities, ensuring commercial value for waste that is conventionally sent to landfills or other destinations.
- Garbage is basically any solid waste from human activities. However, the most current concept is that garbage is what nobody wants or has no commercial value (BIDONE, F. R. A .; POVINELLI, J. Basic Concepts of Solid Waste. S ⁇ o Carlos: EESS / USP, 1999. 120p.).
- waste recycling appears as an important option in the management of solid waste.
- the lack of information on the subject is one of the main reasons for the absence of well-supported projects that lead to improvements in the sector.
- Particularly the waste from health services deserves special attention in its phases of separation, conditioning, storage, collection, transport, treatment and final disposal, due to the serious and immediate risks that they can offer, particularly in the infectious-contagious issue.
- NAiME Roberto, et al. An approach to health service waste management. Space for Health Magazine, Londrina, v. 5, n. 2, p. 17-27, Jun. 2004).
- An efficient program for the management of waste generated in health establishments aims to promote the improvement of public health conditions, through the protection of the environment. With effective management, it is possible to establish, at each stage of the system, the generation, segregation, packaging, collection, transportation, storage, treatment and final disposal of waste, with safe handling of the same through appropriate equipment for the professionals involved, including regarding the use.
- Personal Protective Equipment PPE
- PPE Personal Protective Equipment
- Risk is defined as a measure of the probability and severity of the adverse effects of a particular action.
- RSS can be classified into infectious waste - culture, expired vaccine, blood and blood products, tissues, materials resulting from surgery, needles, contaminated animals, waste that came into contact with patients (secretions, meals, etc.); special waste - radioactive waste, expired, contaminated, banned medicine, hazardous chemical waste; and common waste - do not come into contact with patients (office supplies, food scraps, etc.)
- the technical literature describes the management of waste in the health area being carried out externally to the generating unit, due to its complexity and dissociation with primary activities and, if performed internally, electrothermal deactivation practices are generally used, the autoclaving, disposal in special cells or incineration, in the case of chemical residues, without any segregation action being promoted so that the residue can be processed in order to provide a product to be used in the unit generating.
- the generating units have a high cost in contracting third parties who remove, treat and dispose of waste in landfills or incineration, expanding the environmental liability and, often, making use of the public selective collection service, which charges public coffers.
- the object of the present invention patent is a method of managing waste from health services whose activities of segregation, collection and destination to processing units or landfills or other forms of waste treatment are carried out internally, in a Waste Transformation Center at the generating unit, through a controlled system, in order to obtain useful indicators for planning and minimizing waste generation actions, as well as making it possible to transform infectious waste into common and common waste in recyclable, and recyclable in raw material, returning processed products processed internally or by processing units (or suppliers) to the generating unit in exchange for the waste destined for this processing unit.
- the invention describes a method of waste management in health services that internally segregates recyclable waste, avoiding cross-contamination with infectious waste, through practices that make it possible to transform common and common waste into recyclable waste.
- the invention describes a method of waste management in health services that allows planning the collection routine, planning intermediate storage spaces and the waste minimization practices
- the invention describes a method of waste management by health services that allows obtaining data on the amount of waste generated and the category of this waste
- the invention describes a method of waste management in health services that allows to obtain collection, productivity, efficiency, non-conformity indicators, among others.
- the invention describes a method of managing waste from health services that allows the inclusion of ecological credits in situations where there is an energy recovery of waste, eliminating the sending of waste to landfills and ensuring the return on fuel gas and / or electricity in proportion to the production carried out at the generating unit.
- the invention describes a method of waste management in health services in which the generating units begin to treat waste internally, drastically reducing the financial impact of waste disposal and environmental liabilities
- the invention describes a method of waste management of health services in which the generating units start to have direct processes, with properly licensed processing units that return inputs to the generating unit, avoiding the consumption of raw material that would be extracted from the environment.
- Figure 1 shows the flowchart of the paper and cardboard management method at the generating unit.
- FIG. 2 shows the flowchart of the plastics management method in the generating unit.
- FIG. 3 shows the flowchart of the glass management method in the generating unit.
- Figure 4 shows the flow chart of the organic waste management method at the generating unit.
- Figure 5 shows the flow chart of the method for managing biological waste and unserviceable plastics at the generating unit.
- Figure 6 shows the general flow chart showing the treatment of solid waste after arriving at the Waste Processing Plant.
- the health service waste management method comprises the mapping of the physical structure of the generating unit, in order to verify the areas of waste generation and the classification of this waste (infectious and non-infective, Class I, Class IIA, Class MB), the volume of waste generated and the respective treatment, with the definition of a set of steps that involve the definition of the collection sites, the positioning of the containers, the collection routines, the segregation of waste in a Waste Transformation Center (CTR), the storage of packaged and categorized waste and the destination processing units or landfills, in accordance with the legislation.
- CTR Waste Transformation Center
- container waste is segregated into categories, ok! like pape! white, cardboard and tetrapack, which are packed in specific packages and sent to CTR's shipping sector to be made available to the processing unit.
- the processing unit informs the generating unit of the amount of waste collected and returns the unit of origin to the equivalent amount of processed product (such as toilet paper, paper towels, brown paper, packaging, among others).
- processed product such as toilet paper, paper towels, brown paper, packaging, among others.
- Waste paper and cardboard that were not categorized in the segregation stage, are considered waste and sent to the compactor to be sent to a landfill.
- the plastics discarded in containers disposed in different areas of the generating unit are sent to the CTR where they are segregated into categories, such as polyethylene group, PET group [poly (terephthalate) ethylene)], being crushed and packaged for shipment to a processing unit.
- categories such as polyethylene group, PET group [poly (terephthalate) ethylene)
- the processing unit informs the generating unit of the amount of plastic waste collected and returns the unit of origin to the equivalent amount of processed product (such as plastic packaging, garbage bags, plastic bags, brooms, fabrics and clothing, among others. ).
- Plastics categorized as useless or economically unviable are crushed and sintered to obtain an energy cell and subsequently thermally transformed to decompose their molecules and produce combustible gas for various uses as an energy source.
- the glasses discarded in containers disposed in different areas of the generating unit are sent to the CTR where they are separated, crushed and packed for later sending to the processing unit for transformation into glass products that return to the unit source.
- the processing unit informs the generating unit of the amount of organic waste collected and returns the equivalent amount of processed product to the unit of origin, which may be, in this case, horticultural products.
- organic waste is screened for the removal of eventual plastic packaging that, if possible to be removed, follows the treatment procedures applied to plastics. If the plastic packaging is not removed from the organic waste, the waste is classified as common waste and is packed in a suitable packaging to be sent to the landfill.
- the biological residues and usable plastics deposited in containers disposed in the generating unit are sent to the CTR where they are packed, sterilized and crushed, being sent to a dosing silo that directs the waste for transformation into a cell power
- the heat treatment of the energy cell produces fuel gas which, when burned, generates steam and electrical energy, used in the installations of the generating unit, reducing consumption by an external supplier.
