At our Séché Healthcare facility in Pau, our team collects, sorts and treats waste produced by medical establishments, clinics, hospitals and veterinary surgeries in the local area.
Potentially infectious medical waste (PIMW) includes syringes, bandages, compresses or sharps and represents a risk to all those who handle it, which is why it must be decontaminated.
Our decontamination unit grinds up the waste and sterilizes soiled materials. Once disinfected, this homogenate no longer presents any risk to the health of our treatment operators. We provide both technical and administrative support to support our clients through every stage of the process. To facilitate collection, we supply adapted containers, and operate specially designed trucks to transport the waste to the appropriate treatment channels. All our collection drivers have received training specifically regarding the collection of infectious and toxic medical waste, as well as how to react in the event of an incident.
