What is biomedical waste?
The definition of biomedical waste varies based on the Canadian province in which your facility is located. Read this blog to learn more.
Examples include:
- Anatomical solids and liquids waste from humans and animals
- Microbiological wastes such as waste serums and vaccines
- Non-anatomical wastes, such as equipment
- Waste sharp items such as hypodermic syringe needles, called “sharps”
- Chemical and pharmaceutical wastes
Ensuring Compliance and Safety For Medical Waste Disposal in Canada
Given the potentially infectious nature of medical and healthcare waste, stringent regulations govern its collection, transport and disposal.
Biomedical waste (also known as biohazard, biohazardous, medical or infectious waste) is, according to Canadian law, the responsibility of the generator from the point of disposal, right through to final treatment. With 30+ years of experience in healthcare, Daniels has the solutions, licensing and compliance expertise to protect the safety risk exposure and regulatory responsibilities of healthcare facilities in the total management of all healthcare waste streams.
Innovative Biomedical Waste Disposal Solutions for Maximum Safety
Our innovative biomedical waste disposal methods eliminate the need for single-use biohazard bags. We provide advanced, fully compliant containers that prioritize safety and efficiency. Designed to be leak-proof, puncture-resistant and equipped with secure locking mechanisms, our containers ensure the highest level of protection for healthcare facilities and their staff.
Ensuring a Safer, More Sustainable Future
Traditional single-use solutions pose significant safety risks, with numerous reports of healthcare workers and facility staff being exposed to improperly discarded sharps or spilled infectious materials.
Beyond safety concerns, single-use bags and containers contribute to environmental waste and add avoidable costs to the healthcare supply chain. Daniels Health provides sustainable, reusable alternatives that enhance safety, cost efficiency and compliance with regulatory requirements, ensuring healthcare facilities meet the highest standards in biomedical waste management.

Medismart, the future of medical waste management
Infection minimizing innovation for the collection of Biomedical Waste
The Daniels Medismart is the first biomedical waste system to truly modernise healthcare waste management. Reducing time and labour, preventing infection transfer, eliminating multi-handling of waste, preventing sharps injuries, and dramatically improving waste segregation, the Medismart ushers in a new era of safe point-of-use and cost-effective biomedical waste disposal.

Let’s look at biomedical waste management costs in human terms
In many healthcare facilities, costs of biomedical waste disposal skyrocket because unnecessary waste volumes are finding their way into biohazard bins – burger wrappers, cola cans and empty coffee cups. At Daniels we work on driving cost reductions through in-detph training, container positioning that encourages positive segregation behaviours, colour-coded containers with clear labelling, and ongoing audits to determine problem locations. We help you ensure the right waste goes into the right bin so your facility is compliant and your costs are managed.
Cradle to Grave Waste Management
Our Drivers, Our Trucks, Our Treatment. Our Responsibility
Unlike other waste management service providers, we protect the process from generation to disposal, assuming full responsibility for the security of your waste. As the waste generator is responsible for waste produced UNTIL such time as it is disposed of, having a medical waste partner that assumes full responsibility of the biomedical waste pickup, transport, treatment and disposal is critical. To ensure your risk is minimized, it is our drivers, our trucks and our processing facilities that manage your waste – no third parties involved!

“Biomedical Waste Reduction of over 50%…”
Since our partnership with Daniels Health began in 2015, Daniels has been not only a service provider, but a solutions provider. With the introduction of Medismart biomedical waste containers, we have seen a reduction of biomedical waste at Ingalls by over 50%.

Daniels impact on efficiency…
Switching to Medismart saved our organization nearly $13,000. We also reduced the non-productive time that my staff had been spending switching over disposable sharps containers, and the number of trips for one of my staff members to pick up biomedical containers, by 50%. That allowed us to focus more on the cleaning of the hospital in other areas.

“Reduces our footprint…”
We take pride in improving our environmental footprint; this is one of the reasons we selected Daniels Health for medical waste removal services. Daniels technology reduces our waste footprint and needlestick injuries. Our working relationship with Daniels has been simple, reliable and easy for the hospital. I would readily recommend Daniels to other healthcare facilities.
