Abstract
Apparatus and method for processing regulated medical waste using a processing oven having multiple temperature ranges and compacting means and an oven with means for sensing and generating heat near the base of the medical waste container. Temperature-calibrated thermoplastic engineered to liquefy at temperatures assuring sterilization of biological contaminants within the time frame of liquefaction and re-solidification is formed into a waste-receiving hopper capable of withstanding waste compaction pressures prior to liquefaction and compaction states are performed both before and after liquefaction. Self-lidding thermoplastic containers utilize the mass of thermoplastic covers, or other forces, to consolidate the mass. A laminate is applied to the container to control plastic flow during liquefaction.
