Disposal of COVID-19 disposable masks and gloves

The coronavirus pandemic, in addition to social distancing, requires us to wear surgical masks and disposable gloves.

For this reason, millions of surgical masks and gloves are used and discarded daily after use, not only in hospitals on the front lines against the virus, but also by all of us.

Consequently, this is creating a major problem for the disposal of COVID-19 disposable masks and gloves, as they are potentially hazardous and infectious waste.

In this regard, it is important to establish a “recycling chain” and a common protocol for disposal and, where possible, recycling or safe destruction.

SatrindTech already includes in its catalog a series of industrial shredders for the processing of special hospital, medical, and pharmaceutical waste, capable of meeting these changing environmental needs, as shown in the video.
