This article is about how a hospital garbage shredder has drastically reduced the amount of waste that the hospital produces. This shredder scans items to determine whether or not they are recyclable and then shaves off any metal that may be on them. The only downside of this machine is that it can take up to 10 minutes, on average, for an item to be shredded.

In response to the global need for cleaner cities, hospitals have been looking for ways to reduce their waste. It is estimated that hospitals generate around 5% of all the hazardous waste in the world, and much of it goes untreated. In an effort to reduce these statistics, a new hospital waste shredder has been introduced. The innovative medical device has already reduced hospital waste by 50%, and this number continues to rise as it becomes more widely used.
