Crushing the Cost of Medical Waste: Size Reduction Solutions for Vial and Ampoule Disposal

CRUSHING THE COST OF MEDICAL WASTE

Pharmaceutical, biotech, and diagnostics
companies face mounting pressure to reduce
both operational costs and environmental
impact. One persistent challenge is the
disposal of regulated medical waste (RMW),
particularly glass and plastic vials containing
residual liquids. Incineration and specialized
landfilling of this waste are costly, energyintensive, and increasingly incompatible with corporate sustainability goals.

Schutte Hammermill offers an in-house
solution: the WA Series industrial hammer
mill paired with a vibroscreen dewatering
system. This combination reduces volume of
waste by up to 90%, enables regulatory
reclassification, and eliminates the need for
costly off-site processing. The result?
Reduced disposal costs, streamlined
compliance, and tangible progress toward
waste reduction goals.
