As can be seen, several types of waste produced by commercial enterprises have the potential to cause serious health problems from the moment they are collected until the moment they are disposed. For this reason, the provision of leak-proof industrial +4 °C cooling systems, as well as other appropriate storage conditions for hazardous and medical waste, thus creating a temporary waste storage facility, is very important to staff working in these areas as well as to environmental and community health.
