Benefits That Make a Measurable Difference
In Your Facility
Lower Cost of Ownership
Total ownership and operating costs average $0.10-$0.12 per pound as opposed to three times this amount for third-party hauling and treatment.
Increase Treatment Effectiveness
STI increases treatment effectiveness with integrated shredding under negative pressure using HEPA filtration. This seamless process dramatically increases the surface area available for steam treatment far greater than other methods without integral shredding.
Lower Processing Costs
STI BioSAFE lowers the cost of operations by dramatically reducing labor requirements and the need for manual loading with our continuous feed design. Unlike an autoclave which uses high-pressure steam and a vacuum, STI BioSAFE uses low-pressure steam coupled with a “hibernation mode” when not in use to minimize utility costs.
Disposal Costs
Dried, 90% bulk-reduced waste is tailored to minimize the landfill impact and hauling costs of treated materials, lowering tipping fees and hauling charges 10-fold.
In Our World
Safety at Scale
Over two billion pounds of medical waste have been processed using BioSAFE’s STI system worldwide.
Landfill Avoidance
Waste processed with BioSAFE STI systems may be recycled back into the plastics market, used to generate oil, synthetic gas, or other liquid petroleum products, or fed into a waste-to-energy system, keeping waste out of landfills and helping meet sustainability goals.
Cleaner Air, Water, and Soil
Our continuous feed, non-incineration process has a minimal environmental impact on air, water, and soil.
Less Energy Usage
With STI BioSAFE, you are not maintaining an incinerator, high-pressure steam boiler, or pulling a vacuum, resulting in dramatic reductions in energy consumption.

STI Waste Treatment Systems
Our STI Waste Treatment System with proven steam technology provides the lowest operating costs in the industry. Available on-demand, the system is ready to operate with no heat-up time. The STI System disinfects with no soil, water, or air pollution, and minimizes the impact of the resulting Schedule D solid waste on landfills.
The STI can also be integrated into a plastics recycling process, as the lower temperature and pressure conditions in the STI process do not change the physical or chemical properties of the treated plastic. Treated and bulk reduced plastics are sent following STI treatment to an advanced recycler for separation and reintroduction into the plastics market.

Learn how one of the nation’s largest hospital groups uses BioSAFE STI.
“We made an extensive evaluation of companies that handle the treatment of traditional medical waste disposal. BioSAFE Medical Waste Systems offered the best solution we researched over a two-year period. We believe that selecting STI will allow our member facilities to most effectively eliminate on-site incineration and comply with new Clean Air Act standards.”
