[Waste disposal from medical practices and laboratories].
The major part of wastes from medical practices can be classified as refuse without any further consideration or it can be used for recycling. However, certain waste products need a specific treatment; most of all, there are waste products that are infectious or that could mechanically cause injuries due to their design. The amount of infectious wastes that could be established in our waste-separation-model was extremely small and therefore, can easily be added to the refuse after adequate disinfection. Only practitioners themselves can decide on the spot which wastes need or not need to be disinfected.
