Trace Chemotherapy Waste
Safe Solutions for Trace Chemotherapy Waste Management
Cytotoxic waste, or chemotherapy waste, is a major concern for healthcare providers when developing their waste management plans. EBS offer a reusable containment system for chemotherapy waste, as well as clinically engineered solutions that minimize cross-contamination.
Chemotherapy drugs are potent chemicals that are used to treat cancer. They can be very harmful to human health and the environment if they are not disposed of properly.
Chemotherapy waste is considered a hazardous waste by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and must be disposed of in a special way. This typically involves incineration or landfilling in a hazardous waste landfill.
Chemotherapy waste includes:
- Unused or leftover chemotherapy drugs
- Empty chemotherapy vials and syringes
- IV bags and tubing used to administer chemotherapy drugs
- Gloves, gowns, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) used while administering chemotherapy drugs
- Spilled chemotherapy drugs and cleanup materials
