What the Agencies are Saying

State and Local Agencies have Approved the SSM

The EPA and other agencies have concluded that alternative technologies are competitively priced and, in many cases, environmentally preferable to standard disposal methods.

The SSM is a perfect example of an affordable and environmentally pleasing alternative technology for the effective on-site management and disposal of infectious medical waste.

Because steam sterilization is the method employed by the SSM, environment and health departments have concluded that it requires no special permits. It is one method that is recognized in all 50 states as an effective and safe means of sterilization for infectious medical waste.

With the SSM, you can be assured that your medical waste will be disposed in a way that is compliant with local, state, and federal regulations and it significantly reduces the liability created by the transport and normal disposal methods of red bag waste.
