4. Internationally applied guidelines –The pollution agent is responsible for the elimination of the residues it produces –Residues must be transported and processed under appropriate technical conditions and in accordance with the current legislation –The pollution agent must monitor the entire cycle of residue elimination

16. The collected medical residues are deposited into special containers, according to the current laws and regulations (cardboard and plastic). These containers are later destroyed in the process of neutralizing the residues. The residues are first minced and then sterilized in a dry and hot environment, at more than 150 o C The remnants are cooled and compacted, then safely deposited into ecological warehouses This procedure does not generate any residues or emissions, neither into the water, nor into the air. The whole residue processing procedure is monitored and controlled by a fully computerized system.
