Caring for patients requires diagnostic and therapeutic skills that rely on a range disposable items, from gloves to gowns to surgical tools. Handling medical waste safely is a science unto itself. Rubicon designs programs that are optimized for facilities large and small to carefully separate and manage the disposal of syringes, wrappers, paper products, and instruments.

The remaining 15% is considered hazardous material that may be infectious, toxic, or radioactive
Every year, an estimated 16 billion injections are administered worldwide—but not all of the needles and syringes are properly disposed of
