In a method for controlling unpleasant odors in discharge air from containers, rooms or plants in which strong smelling substances such as feces, waste or highly odorous foods are stored or processed, a fluid is introduced into the discharge air in a finely distributed form, which physically and/or chemically neutralizes the odor of the substances contained in the discharge air. The fluid is a 0.1% to 8% aqueous solution of an active substance concentrate which is 55-65 wt.-% triethylcitrate, 17.5 to 22.5 wt.-% 1,2 propanediol and 17.5 to 22 wt.- % di-propylene glycol-methylether. Alternatively, the fluid can also be a mixture of a suitable propellant gas mixture and the active substance concentrate specified above.

A flexible bag assembly having at least one layer of a flexible material that permits a UV light source to penetrate through to sterilize bacterial contents on an interior of the flexible bag assembly. Transmission of the UV light source is maximized through the flexible material and to enhance a kill rate of bacteria within the interior of the flexible bag assembly. A bio-assimilator may be integrated into a composition of the flexible bag assembly to facilitate biodegradation by anaerobic degradation leaving no microplastic remnants.

The invention includes a system and method for delivery and storage of an absorbent for solidification of liquid waste. The system includes a plurality of nestable containers configured to receive aqueous liquid to be solidified and forming a packet safe space when nested one within another. The system also includes a plurality of packets at least partially soluble in the aqueous liquid to be solidified. The containers include at least one packet and each packet contains a solidifier for use as an absorbent composition for the aqueous liquid to be solidified. A packet may be housed within the containers inside a packet safe space. The invention also includes an improved system and method for packaging a solidifier for solidification of liquid medical wastes.

A free radical sterilization system having a chamber defining a region, and a generator for generating free radical reach effluent from a free radical electric generator and/or a vaporizer. A closed loop circulating system without a free-radical destroyer is provided for supplying the mixture of free radicals from the electric generator mixed with the hydrogen peroxide solution in the form of the effluent to the chamber. The free-radical sterilization system is used in sterilizing items in the chamber and, with an open-bottomed wound chamber, in treating wounds on a body.

Quantities of plastic solids derived from mixed plastic waste are provided. The quantities can comprise polyolefins and/or polyethylene terephthalate and can be co-located with other quantities of plastic solids. The quantities of solids plastics can comprise particulate plastic solids that are suitable for use as feedstocks to various chemical recycling processes.
