Background

Rumah Sakit Umum UMM, like many hospitals in Indonesia, faces significant challenges in managing medical waste effectively and sustainably. With the growing healthcare needs in Malang and the broader East Java region, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions to address the medical waste crisis.

Current Challenges

• Increasing volume of medical waste generation, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic5

• Lack of proper segregation and disposal practices11

• Limited on-site treatment facilities9

• Environmental and health risks from improper waste management5

• Insufficient financial resources and technical expertise10

Our Solution

In collaboration with Rumah Sakit Umum UMM, we are implementing a comprehensive medical waste management system using advanced electro-plasma technology. This project aims to:

1. Improve waste segregation at the source

2. Implement a safe and efficient collection system

3. Utilize state-of-the-art electro-plasma treatment for on-site waste processing

4. Reduce environmental impact and health risks

5. Ensure compliance with regulatory standards

Key Features of the Electro-Plasma System

• High-temperature processing (1800 to 2100 degrees Celsius) for complete waste destruction1

• Energy-efficient operation with low power consumption1

• Compact design suitable for on-site installation1

• Capacity to handle various types of medical waste1

Pilot Project Scope

• Initial implementation at Rumah Sakit Umum UMM

• Treatment capacity: 10 tons per day (scalable)1

• Comprehensive staff training and education programs

• Monitoring and evaluation system for continuous improvement

Potential for Scaling

Upon successful implementation at UMM Hospital, the project has the potential to expand its services to:

1. Other healthcare facilities in Malang

2. Regional hospitals across East Java

3. Centralized waste treatment facility for the entire region

Expected Outcomes

• 90% reduction in waste volume5

• Significant decrease in environmental pollution

• Improved compliance with national and international standards

• Cost savings for the hospital in long-term waste management

• Enhanced safety for healthcare workers and the community

Future Vision

By demonstrating the effectiveness of this innovative approach at Rumah Sakit Umum UMM, we aim to create a model for sustainable medical waste management that can be replicated across Indonesia. This project aligns with the national goal of achieving zero plastic waste and contributes to the broader environmental and public health objectives of the country.

Join us in revolutionizing medical waste management and creating a cleaner, safer future for Malang and beyond.
