A waste apparatus, including a first compartment for manually inserting waste thereinto from the environment, a second compartment being discardable, for discarding the second compartment while containing the waste, and a processing device including a transfer device, for transferring the waste from the first compartment to second compartment, and for then partitioning the first compartment from the second compartment, thereby the waste is stored within the second compartment separated from the environment, for allowing delaying the discarding the second compartment while containing the waste.

Disclosed herein is a mobile sterilization and disinfection system configured to operate under official requirements for the handling of BIHW, adapted to perform the indicated procedures at the place where such wastes or residues are generated, increasing the efficiency of the processes to achieve it and ensuring that the pre-established routes for its transfer do not constitute an additional risk for the persons in charge of the handling. The operation and increased efficiency of the mobile system is a function of temperature diffusion control during the sterilization cycles, as well as joint and system-specific conditions to achieve increased efficiency.

A refuse collection system includes a refuse collection robot and a refuse depot. The refuse collection robot includes a chassis, a tractive element coupled to the chassis, a motor coupled to the chassis and the tractive element and configured to drive the tractive element to propel the refuse collection robot, a refuse container coupled to the chassis and defining a first storage volume, and a controller operatively coupled to the motor. The refuse depot includes a centralized storage defining a second storage volume and a refuse actuator configured to transfer refuse from the first storage volume to the second storage volume. The controller is configured to control the motor to propel the refuse collection to a pickup zone associated with a customer in response to receiving a request for refuse collection from a user device associated with the customer.

A waste storage device is provided comprising a waste storage compartment for storing waste and a lid. The device further comprises a dispenser for dispensing an agent inside the waste storage device and an actuator arranged to activate the dispenser. A waste cartridge is also provided comprising a relatively rigid upper portion and a relatively flexible lower portion. The relatively flexible lower portion is arranged for storing waste items and the relatively rigid upper portion is arranged to be folded about an axis in a direction substantially towards the relatively flexible lower portion of the waste cartridge.

The invention relates to a system for containing medical waste with a bag and a machine for producing said bag. It relates to a reusable, hermetically sealed, metal container for medical waste, with a bag and locks or latches, which prevent the lid from being opened until the waste inside the same has been sterilized by the pressurized steam of an autoclave. It also relates to said plastic bag made up of two or more layers of different physical properties, configured into a single body. Said bag is housed inside the aforementioned hermetically sealed container. It also relates to a machine for producing these bags with a winder, folder and several sealers using heat resistance inserted into conveyer belts.

A method and apparatus for operating a food waste recycling appliance includes a food waste recycling container, a condensate reservoir, a first fluid pathway fluidly coupling the food waste recycling chamber and the condensate reservoir, and a fan moving air from the food waste recycling chamber to the condensate reservoir along the first fluid pathway to define a first airflow.
