| Injection safety: pilot project on needle removing and plastic recycling in Ukraine | As a follow up of the 2002 injection safety assessment and the 2003 introduction of AD syringes in Ukraine, a pilot project was initiated with the objective to design a safe and viable process for disposing AD syringes through a non-burn option.
The project was to test a system using:
a) needle removing with needle cutter,
b) neutralisation by autoclaving,
c) containment with safety container and autoclaving bag,
d) different methods of transport,
e) disposal through shredding and recycling.
The costs analysis was also an objective of the pilot project. |
