TMA has been awarded the contract for the management of waste from the Parc Hospitalari Martí i Julià of the Institut d’Assistència Sanitària. This contract includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste similar to municipal waste (Group I) and non-specific sanitary waste (Group II), as well as other types of waste.

The service we provide includes several key activities:

  • Supply of containers and compactors: we provide the containers and compactors necessary for the safe storage and transport of waste.
  • Removal and transport of waste: we remove waste from the points of generation and transport it to our plants or authorised treatment plants.
  • Waste management and treatment: we are responsible for the correct classification, treatment and disposal of waste according to current regulations.

 

CLASSIFICATION OF HEALTH WASTE

 

The waste from the PHMJ is divided into two large groups:

Group I – non-hazardous waste and not exclusive to health activity

 

This waste is recoverable and mostly recyclable. At TMA we generate value through the transformation of this type of waste.

  • paper
  • cardboard
  • packaging
  • plastics
  • glass
  • organic
  • bulky

 

Group II – non-hazardous waste and exclusive to health activity

 

  • healing materials
  • plasters
  • clothes
  • single-use materials with traces of blood or secretions

 

WE ARE ZERO WASTE

 

At TMA, we are governed by the Zero Waste philosophy, seeking to reduce to a minimum the amount of waste that ends up in controlled deposits. This project is perfectly aligned with our principles:

 

Waste minimization: we implement measures to reduce the amount of waste generated.

Recycling and recovery: Group I waste, which is mostly recyclable, is segregated and transported to material recovery plants.

Training and awareness: we carry out annual environmental awareness and training campaigns for IAS healthcare personnel, promoting better classification and recycling practices.

 

The quality of separation at source has a direct impact on the reduction of non-essential waste and the increase in recoverable waste. 

 

Innovation and technology in healthcare waste management

 

We use advanced technology for efficient waste management:

  • Electronic processing: all documentation related to waste management is processed electronically, facilitating traceability and regulatory compliance.
  • Compactors and smart containers: we provide modern and efficient equipment to optimize waste storage and transportation, ensuring regular cleaning and maintenance of this equipment.

 

Environmental and social impact

 

Our goal goes beyond complying with regulations; we want to reduce the environmental impact of hospital waste and improve working conditions:

  • Reducing the carbon footprint: by optimising transport routes and using efficient vehicles, we reduce CO2 emissions.
  • Health and safety: we guarantee that our staff and that of the hospital work in safe conditions, minimising the risks associated with handling waste.

 

 

Our experience and resources allow us to offer a high-quality service, aligned with the zero-waste philosophy, benefiting both the environment and the hospital community of the Parc Hospitalari Martí i Julià del Institut d’Assistència Sanitària.
