Hazardous Medical Waste Management
With a strong sense of responsibility toward public health and the environment, Vaktro Scientific offers a comprehensive solution for the safe management of Hazardous Medical Waste (HMW), supporting clients nationwide.
Since 2011, we’ve operated across Greece with ADR-certified vehicles and drivers, fully compliant with legislation and safety standards. Since January 2016, our Sterilization Unit in the Patras Industrial Zone processes HMW from public and private healthcare facilities.
The unit uses the Ecosteryl 75 microwave sterilization system (AMB), certified under «KYA οικ. 146163/2012», recognized as a best-in-class method due to:
Zero pollutant and odor emissions
Reduced energy footprint
Uniform and rapid temperature rise throughout waste volume
Safe and cost-effective operation without steam generation
Fully digital process control with error diagnosis and prevention
Sterilization complies with ELOT 12740/00, achieving STAAT III level (6log10 – 99.9999% reduction) using biological indicators per ELOT 11138. Post-processing, waste becomes unrecognizable and completely safe.
The facility operates under all required licenses (AΕΠΟ, Operating License), with Civil & Environmental Liability insurance, and strictly follows Greek and EU regulations for HMW, MEW, and AHW.
