Last month, we discussed how Biochem transforms the waste from your facility into energy while upholding a strict Zero-to-Landfill policy. We also mentioned that using Biochem’s services can earn you points toward LEED certification. Today’s article is the second installment in our series, focusing on a unique advantage offered by Biochem.

Biochem stands out as the only company in the industry providing a liquid Bacteriostatic Solution inside the hygiene waste bin. But what’s in it for you?

This exclusive and patented solution ensures you receive the best service available. The benefits are significant and can even result in cost savings.

What does “Bacteriostatic” even mean? It means that there is an agent that prevents the growth of bacteria (it keeps them in the stationary phase of growth). In reality, it kills about 90% of the bacteria and keeps the 10% remaining stationary.

Here’s what makes this service exceptional and how it enhances the experience for your employees, your patrons, your clients:

• Soiled bins (and remember, it is blood that we are talking about) are removed from your premises to minimize cross-contamination and are replaced with fully sanitized units containing the bacteriostatic solution.

Note: Bins not removed from your premises are unlikely to be fully sanitized on-site, increasing the risk of cross-contamination.

On-site sanitization involves using your washrooms as a cleaning station, which generates VOCs and extends service time.

• Each bin is cleaned and sanitized at Biochem’s facility in Ontario, rather than on-site, using an industrial process.

Bins are treated in an industrial-grade steam machine and sanitized with disinfectants and agents approved by Health Canada.

To effectively kill or inhibit bacteria growth, the sanitizing agent must be in contact for at least 10 minutes.

Bins are cleaned with two different disinfectants, ensuring 99.9% of bacteria are eliminated. The process is eco-friendly and ISO 14001 certified for top-quality management.

Each lid is manually cleaned and sanitized.

All sanitized units are stored at Biochem’s plant until reallocated on-site.

Each bin undergoes inspection by our Quality Control Department to ensure it is in proper working order and thoroughly clean before leaving our facility.

• No plastic bag liners are used, so there is no additional non-recyclable waste.
• The bacteriostatic liquid solution is also the best solution to reduce odours in your washrooms.
• Bins can accommodate up to 15% more waste with the bacteriostatic solution, allowing you to reduce service frequency and save money.
