EnviroXtract, Inc. Announces Negotiations to Acquire Technology License for Biomedical 'Red Bag' Waste Incineration
EDMOND, Okla., Dec 4, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) — EnviroXtract, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EVXA) announced today that it has entered into negotiations with RTEX Industrial Supply, Inc. to acquire a technology license for a proprietary process to efficiently incinerate biomedical “red bag” waste and other biohazardous materials.
Carlton Wingett, President/CEO of EnviroXtract states, “The RTEX biomedical and Red Bag waste incineration system could generate almost-immediate revenues for EnviroXtract upon successful implementation on a local or regional scale. The process appears to integrate well with our own proprietary thermal technologies to create another promising application which should enhance the 'green' EnviroXtract environmental remediation business model and create additional potential revenue sources for EnviroXtract.”
Biomedical waste consists of solids, liquids, sharps, and laboratory waste that are potentially infectious or dangerous. Biomedical waste must be properly managed to protect the general public, specifically healthcare and sanitation workers who are regularly exposed to biomedical waste as an occupational hazard.
Biomedical waste differs from other types of hazardous waste, such as industrial waste, in that it comes from biological sources or is used in the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases. Common producers of biomedical waste include hospitals, health clinics, nursing homes, medical research laboratories, offices of physicians, dentists, and veterinarians, home health care, and funeral homes.
