ClinX Waste Management is well known in the Health Care Risk Waste industry, for outstanding quality service and innovative thinking.

Kevin Bowman AND TEAM who in the late 1980s introduced the first commercial Medical Waste System to Hospitals, Clinics and Laboratories in South Africa founded ClinX in 1998. The older system comprised of cardboard box that was lined with a red plastic bag.

Under Kevin’s guidance and management this system grew in popularity until nearly all the hospitals and clinics in South Africa were making use of it.

During the early 1990’s, after attending an International Waste Conference in the U.S.A., Kevin realised that the use of cardboard boxes for Medical Waste collection was gradually being phased out in the Western World and being replaced by a puncture and leak resistant container system. This new system provided a far safer, neater and more hygienic method of Medical Waste Management.

As a result, Kevin once again introduced the first fully puncture and leak resistant Medical Waste Management System to South Africa, and as a result, ClinX waste Management was established. This system, 1^st (FIRST)introduced to RSA in 1998 has been 7 years ahead of Govt Promulgation!

The ClinX Waste Management name is today well established, with branches in KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. ClinX’s reputation has been built on solid reliability as regards the ability to deliver a level of service unmatched in the Health Care Risk Waste Industry.
