  • Patent number: 10471483
    Abstract: An assembly and method for processing human waste includes providing a supporting base having an opening within which a waste reservoir is affixed. The assembly may be installed on or below a rim of a toilet bowl. Solidification and pathogen killing materials are provided. The materials are deposited in the reservoir either prior to or upon accumulation of waste in the reservoir. The reservoir with the solidified waste is then sealed and transported to a collection facility.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 12, 2019
    Assignee: Pharma-Cycle, LLC
    Inventors: James T. Mullowney, Jr., Theresa L. O'Keefe

  • Patent number: 9440269
    Abstract: Waste containing a cytotoxic chemotherapy drug is collected in a container and contacted with a solidification material to form a solidified waste. The solidification material includes a mixture of an organic polymer and a Portland cement clinker. The organic polymer facilitating dispersal of the Portland cement clinker upon contacting said waste with the solidification material, wherein a volume of the solidified waste forms a stable matrix. The solidified waste is sealed within the container.

  • Patent number: 9242282
    Abstract: A method for using a mixture of an organic polymer combined with an inorganic polymer is provided. When the mixture is combined with a liquid material, such as a urine from a patient that is contaminated with a dangerous cytotoxic drug, a multi-step process occurs that sequester the dangers. The combined material forms a stable matrix in which the cytotoxic chemotherapy drug is destroyed. Due to the combination of polymers, the multi-step process will occur without any mechanical mixing or stirring, as the organic polymer facilitates dispersal of the inorganic polymer through-out the combined material.
