Sharp cutting tools (except code 18 02 02)

In the modern world, where the intensive development of medicine and scientific research has become the basis for improving the health of people and animals, the problem of neutralizing sharp tools used in these processes is becoming more and more urgent. Special attention should be paid to the waste generated as a result of the use of sharp instruments, with the exception of those falling under the code 18 02 02. This waste belongs to the category of hazardous and requires special attention from the point of view of environmental management.

Sharp instruments such as scalpels, needles, blades, cutting devices, and other instruments are used in many areas of medicine and scientific research. They are necessary for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as in veterinary medicine and biomedical research. However, after use, these tools become waste that requires proper environmental management.

The main problem is the high sharpness and potential danger of these tools for the environment and human health. Improper management of waste sharps (other than those specified under code 18 02 02) can lead to serious environmental and health problems. In addition, these tools can be infected with pathogenic microorganisms, which increases the risk of spreading infections.

Methods of environmental management of sharps waste (except those specified under code 18 02 02) are key to reducing the harmful impact on the environment and preserving public health. It is important to ensure that this waste is properly collected, sorted and transported for further safe disposal.
