AMB is a private family group, which was created in 1947 to design and produce special machinery for the extraction industries. Following the decline of the mining companies and the rise of the environmental sector, AMB moved into the development of new equipment and machinery to be used for recycling, recovery and processing of medical waste. The business is centered on a design office and two production workshops: mechanical and mechanical welding in one and metallic and sheet metal working in the other. AMB's experience now enables it to offer the international market innovative solutions to environmental problems. By doing this, AMB contributes to maintaining a safe, healthy environment and promoting sustainable development. The devices manufactured by AMB, the ECOSTERYL, use the patented process Ecosteryl to decontaminate waste from health care activities involving a risk of infection. The waste is first reduced by shredding to less than 20mm; it is then brought up to a temperature of approximately 100°C -212°F (thanks to the action of the microwaves) and held at this temperature for 1 hour in order to destroy all the micro-organisms present. At the end of this treatment, this waste is comparable to household waste and can be eliminated either by incineration or dumping in accordance with the normal methods used for solid waste.
