1. A method for the management of solid waste from healthcare services, comprising:
a) collecting and transporting solid waste from a generating unit to a Waste Transformation Plant (WTP) internal or external to the generating unit;
b) at the WTP, processing waste with the following steps:
i. the recyclable waste is segregated, processed and packaged and can be sent directly to a processing industry as raw material and not as scrap or trimmings;
ii. the organic waste is processed by a decomposition acceleration system and transformed into a compound for agricultural use for use by the generating unit itself in its gardens and vegetable plots, closing the complete cycle of this type of waste;
iii. Biologically contaminated waste is treated, processed and transformed into an energy cell;
c) the generating unit forwards the waste segregated and processed in the WTP (that is, they are in the format of raw material) to a processing unit specific to its typology (plastics processing industry for plastics, paper processing industries for papers and so on);
d) each processing unit informs the generating unit of the amount of waste collected;
e) the plastics processing unit delivers to the generating unit products transformed into plastic articles in an amount equivalent to the amount of waste collected, closing the plastic waste cycle;
f) the paper processing unit and the like deliver to the generating unit products transformed into paper articles and the like in the amount equivalent to the amount of waste collected closing the cycle of paper waste and the like;
g) the glass processing unit delivers to the generating unit products transformed into glass articles in the amount equivalent to the amount of waste collected, closing the glass waste cycle;
h) the aluminum processing unit delivers to the generating unit products transformed into aluminum articles in the amount equivalent to the amount of waste collected, closing the aluminum waste cycle;
i) the tissue processing unit delivers to the generating unit products transformed into tissue articles in an amount equivalent to the amount of waste collected, closing the tissue waste cycle;
j) the WTP delivers to the generating unit the energy cells equivalent to the amount of waste collected for conversion into thermal energy within the generating unit itself, closing the cycle of contaminated waste.
