Bill, just curious and perhaps showing my admitted ignorance, but I would question that the medical waste disposal process would hold true for nuclear and chemicals (such as paints and other industrial waste). It would seem that the hot water soluble methods (alone or at all) would not suffice for those types of waste disposal. Since the real advantage of OREX products is their on-site public sewage disposal after being hot-water dissolved at high temperatures, I don't believe that nuclear waste, paint, or similar chemicals would be asily decontaminated and bio-degradable, and therefore would be unqualified for public sewer disposal.
It seems that the waste disposal process and related EPA approval of OREX products in the medical waste environment would be significantly different and simpler than for OREX fabrics containing nuclear, paint, or other similar hazardous chemical wastes. I remember reading that Isolyser's EPA approval (for potentially infectious medical waste) was given only after extensive tests and qualified professional opinions and studies resolved that no toxic dangers were present to water life, animals, or humans. Just curious as to whether anything was mentioned in your conversations regarding waste disposal methods and resulting advantages, if any, for disposal of such chemical or nuclear contamination? What marketing advantages exists for OREX products in the nuclear, chemical, or similar industrial waste environments?
Earlier posts talked about OREX products for adult diapers (to be used by incontinent people). IMO, current disposal methods would suffice in flushing these used, sterilized, and liquidated diapers; but presumably nuclear and chemical exposure presents a much different, more complex decontamination agenda for neutralizing such hazardous waste and any resulting non-bio-degradable disposal. Thanks again for your earlier response and any information that you might have gotten regarding my delayed curiosity. -Kent |
