Most industrialized countries find it difficult to manage their refuse from the functional industries. Modern technology has come up with various ways which can help firms to manage their misuse. Non-biodegradable as well as toxic flitters can damage environment and human health in various ways. Below are best methods on medical waste management which industries should focus on.

Reducing Refuse generation- This is a key method to handle the refuse of products from various industries. It is one of the effective ways among others that can quickly reduce the amount of refuse products in our environment. This can effective through shutting down some of the industries which generate products like plastics bags. By doing this, the number of plastics bags produced to the community will be greatly reduced.

Recycling- Used material which have the ability to be used again such as paper, aluminum and plastics can be processed in industry in order to generate similar and new ones. This method of reusing items is environmentally friendly and it serves to reduce the number of used items which would have been added to the nature.

Incineration- This is a method where misuse products are transformed into base components. There is use of heat which is generated from trapping the deriving energy. Inner ashes as well as assorted gases are the only known by product from this process. It is important to make use of filters which can used to check the level of pollution. Hazards and toxics by products can be managed by this method.

Decomposition- This is among the useful ways of managing refuse. The refuse is dump into a garbage pit and allowed to decompose for long period of time. After decomposition the refuse can be used for farming since it is rich in nutrients. The process requires patience since it is time consuming and it also require large piece of land. However, the process is used for only biodegradable waste products.

Hygienic Landfill- Land which far from people and free from flooding is selected and used as a landfill for waste materials. The material are deposited in a large pit which has a protective lining at the base to prevent toxic from coming to contact with ground water. The refuse is subjected to intense compaction which reduce its volume and then covered with an earth layer, preferably a non-porous soil. This soil further reduces accidental leakages of toxic chemicals.

Dumping into the Sea- This is a way of controlling by products generated from radio activity. Radioactive fritters are dump into the ocean since it is safer. Waste from this process is very harmful to human inhabitant and their life. However, the marine act has condemned this method since the discharge from the industries kills the ocean creatures.

Every industry can select one or two of these techniques depending on what they manufacture. For instance, plastic bags company can choose the recycling method of managing their refuse. Management should come up with a way of treating chemical which are discharge to the sea so that it can be harmless to the sea creatures.
