• Over 50% of Biomedical waste generated in India is not disposed scientifically

• Deadly Health Hazard: leading to infections/injuries

Summary

• Deadly Health Hazard: leading to infections/injuries to people handling as well danger of epidemics

• As per Bio-Medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998, Hospital waste has to treated before disposal

• We offer a Low cost and clean solution to treat • We offer a Low cost and clean solution to treat infected waste at source and help hospitals comply with regulations

• 1/10th cost of imported system and 1/10th operating cost of alternatives like Autoclave

• 420 tons/day - Medical waste generated in India • 50% goes untreated in non metro cities and small towns and

ends up in landfills • Causing Injuries, infections and spread of epidemics

The Problem

• Causing Injuries, infections and spread of epidemics • lack of availability of low cost and easy to use clean solution

Low cost Microwave Based Hospital Waste Disinfection SystemMicrowaves disinfect medical waste without the need of incineration

Our Solution

incineration

Advantages

• Disinfection at Source• Low cost (Initial Investment and Operating)• No Air or water pollution• Waste generated is highly suitable for recycling• Waste generated is highly suitable for recycling• Entry level model @ Rs 500,000 ($10,000) compared to

$100,000 for imported systems• Very high level of sterilization

•The market for biomedical waste disinfection systems has been estimated at $200 million in India (http://www.kleanindustries.com)

Market Size

• According to a Study by Central Pollution Control Board and IIM Lucknow

–No. of Hospitals and other healthcare centres: 85000–About 45000 Hospitals don't have any form of Medical waste disinfection systems

•Even if 20 % of Them adopt our technology: There is a market for •Even if 20 % of Them adopt our technology: There is a market for 9000 systems or (9000 x 5 L) = 450 crores or Approx $100 million and growing

•This sector is growing at 16-20% annually

• Sell Systems Directly to Hospitals, Clinics, Diagnostic

Systems, Dialysis Centers and Blood Banks

Business Model

• Systems for Waste Management Contractors such as Ramky

and Meridi for central treatment facilities

• Truck Mounted mobile Systems

• Additional revenue source from Shredders and Compactors• Additional revenue source from Shredders and Compactors

• Hospital Waste Management Consulting

• There is still no existing Indian manufacturer of Microwave Systems

• First To Market

Competitive Advantage

• First To Market

• Imported Systems from Europe cost 10X compared to our system

• Design, Technology and process can be patented

• Collaboration with MS Ramaiah Hospitals, Which is the nodal agency to implement a $40 million project from UNIDO to agency to implement a $40 million project from UNIDO to implement Clean Technology based Waste Management across five Indian states

Autoclave

• Low productivity

Microwave technology

• High productivity• No water pollution or

Comparison with alternate Technology

• Low productivity• Pollution and contamination of

water • Needs steam generator and

rejects polluted and contaminated water

• Huge Assembly• odor and atmospheric pollution• Pressurized vessel; risk of

explosion; needs public

• No water pollution or contamination

• Easy to Assemble and install• No Atmospheric Pollution• No Pressure: Safe to operate• Can be operated with

minimum training• Output - Very dry, no water • Product easy to recycle explosion; needs public

authorization and specialized manpower

• Product easy to recycle • Competitive investment for

high productivity and low operating cost
