SSI's Shred of the Month: Medical Waste Shredding (Q)

In this video of simulated medical waste, SSI Shredders, shows why a Quad shredder would be an appropriate shredder of choice to destroy medical waste, down to a very small particle size so that it can then be sterilized and properly disposed of.

Wouldn't this cause a lot of airborn particles?  Of possibly infectious pathogens?

[international660]

that stuffs brand new! what are they doing i could use that on my cows at least

[iwatchfunny]

@67George No. Used medical equipement such as needles are incinerated. This is clean stuff that has probably been rejected as a batch and needs cost effictive destruction.

@DevilDog016 People in Africa need medication not empty needles.

[DevilDog016]

Somewhere in Africa, people are dying to get that stuff. And we have so much of it, we can throw it into a shredder for our entertainment... Economies of scale, bitches.

Funny world.

People watch movies on the internets but are incapable of reading a description.

As often proven however, they are very good at jumping to conclusions and telling us all about it.

@67George

exactly! thats why no one would ever do that. the containers for medical waste are designed so that they don't open or rupture even if you press them. so there is absolutely no point in shredding them. those things are filled with hazardous, infectious medical waste. the are taken from hospitals and labs and are incinerated right away - NO SHREDDING

@67George that's why it's SIMULATED medical waste. read a video's description before you comment. :/
