Assessing the emerging risk of nosocomial infections (HCAI) with multi-resistant germs or viruses careful management of contaminated waste needs to get increased consideration. It is a main public health imperative and responsibility to manage the infectious health care waste (IHCW) in a risk-adapted and sustainable way.
Assessing the emerging risk of nosocomial infections (HCAI) with multi-resistant germs (MRSA, VRE, ESBL producing organisms, tuberculosis) or viruses (e.g. hepatitis, H1N1) careful management of contaminated waste needs to get increased consideration. The "Hygiene and Infection Prevention System" developed by METEKA reduces significantly the risk of "cross contamination" by collecting all the potentially infectious waste in punture proof reusable containers (Principle 1: "Non contamination") and avoiding the waste bag collection. Afterwards inside the medical area (hospital, lab and dialysis centre) the waste is de-contaminated in the even same collection and transportation container by means of certified and environment protecting microwave technology. The disinfected waste can be disposed afterwards according to ADR/RID regulation regionally with the ordinary household waste stream (risk group I). No infection risk is transferred into the public (Principle 2: "Limitation of infection risk at the source"). The guidelines of the Basel Convention are followed in the best possible way.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
