About us

We transform Infectious Waste into Municipal Waste

Steriale is a healthtech company that develops advanced solutions for hospitals for on-site treatment and management of infectious biological waste.

Founded in 2016 in Spain, our mission is to transform the way healthcare facilities manage their waste by offering safer, more efficient and sustainable solutions that benefit both our customers and the environment.

A hospital generates 4 kg of BIW per installed bed every day and now more than ever, sustainable solutions are needed to immediately dispose of this potentially hazardous waste on-site.

Unfortunately, current solutions force hospitals and their managers to store containers and plastic bags full of BIW within their premises until specialized trucks collect them and transport them to large treatment plants, usually on the outskirts of cities, for disposal.

Imagining that traditional waste management services are unsafe, polluting, and generate a huge carbon footprint is not easy, so it was necessary to design a solution that completely changes the current paradigm of IWWM management, thus offering safety for staff, eliminating the high consumption of fossil fuels of current logistics and exponentially reducing greenhouse gases that pollute our environment.
