This action is in response to the government’s need of assistance in terminating indiscriminate hazardous waste disposals which are direct sources of infectious diseases. This is done with the use of Autoclave. An Autoclave is an instrument that sterilizes healthcare hazardous waste by subjecting the waste to high pressure saturated steam at the temperature of 121°C. The average process time is 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of load and content.
