The sustainable transformation of the MVZ Diagnosticum Neukirchen
The challenge
MVZ Diagnosticum Neukirchen employs around 600 people and needed a solution for the rapidly rising costs of disposing of hazardous substances.
Inefficiency
Operational processes were characterised by bottlenecks, an increased risk of contamination and recurring equipment failures.
Storage costs
The use of disposable plastics and inadequate waste storage led to environmental problems and complaints from local authorities.
Regulation
Increasing regulatory pressure and the need to achieve climate neutrality presented the company with further challenges.
The solution
With the Medi Steam 700, Hertzfeld implemented a scalable waste processing system that converts hazardous materials into volume-reduced household waste.
Implementation
By implementing the Medi Steam 700, up to 167 kg of medical and toxic waste can now be processed per cycle.
Optimisation
Single-use plastic products have been replaced by reusable containers and are leading to a significant reduction in plastic consumption.
Automation
The entire process is now automated, eliminating the need for pre-sorting and manual handling of hazardous substances.
The success
In addition to significant savings thanks to the automated processes, the improvement in relationships with local authorities is also one of the successes.
Budgetary leeway
By implementing the system, disposal costs have been significantly reduced and annual savings of around $115,000 have been achieved.
Occupational Safety
The system has eliminated the risk of contamination by ensuring safe processing and preventing waste leaks.
Decarbonisation
The volume of waste is now significantly reduced. The new system also ensures that CO2 emissions are avoided.
