How are people disposing of plastic trash produced during research i.e.,
Petri dishes, pipet tips, etc.? Currently we incinerate and I would like
to find an alternative if one is available. We do have one autoclave
which would not be effective since we utilize this for cleaning our
bottles etc. I am looking for some type of equipment that would melt the
plastic down to a smaller size so that it can be disposed of as common
trash. Anyone with this type of information please get back to me.
Thanks!
