PELLA-DRX™– A Waste Conversion Process
PELLA-DRX™ is the end product of a new patent-pending Waste Conversion Process™ (WCP), a stringent method that renders the origin of the product indistinguishable while removing associated hazards from the medical waste.
A first of its kind, WCP eliminates medical waste going into landfills by 100%. The result is PELLA-DRX™ – a clean, raw material used in the manufacture of industrial resources, vital to everything from highways to high-rise buildings.
