Traditional disposal of regulated medical waste (RMW) is costly and harmful to the environment. With over 100,000 waste management projects under its belt, Triumvirate saw a problem and set to fix it. Years of toil and innovation led to the development of the Red2Green solution. Now Triumvirate Environmental can offer a less expensive, sustainable alternative by converting RMW into a benign, reusable plastic lumber product that can be used to make landscape timbers, speed bumps, farm tools and more. This presentation outlines the common issues associated with medical waste disposal today, how the plastic in your RMW can actually be recycled, and what the service adoption and benefits consist of.
