Biomedical Waste


Waste produced in the health care sector can prove highly hazardous, more so in the pandemic era. If not treated, these biomedical wastes can contribute to the rapid spread of coronavirus and other infections.

Geodukan has always chosen a path of improvement over convention. We have implemented stringent guidelines that waste generators, transporters, and processors must comply with to manage regulated waste safely.
