PT Matic was engaged to carry out the secure destruction of a substantial volume of legacy X-ray film at a major hospital in the Maltese Islands, amounting to nearly 14 tonnes of material accumulated over many years. The project presented a dual challenge: the protection of sensitive patient data and the compliant handling of film containing hazardous chemical components.
The operation required careful planning to ensure secure collection, controlled transport, and irreversible destruction of the material. PT Matic managed the entire process, applying strict security protocols throughout handling and shredding to eliminate any risk of data exposure. At the same time, environmental considerations were addressed through appropriate processing and disposal of hazardous elements associated with X-ray film.
Execution was carried out efficiently and without disruption to ongoing healthcare operations, an essential requirement within an active clinical environment. The scale of the project demanded coordination, specialised equipment, and experienced personnel to ensure both safety and compliance at every stage.
By completing the shredding process in full and issuing the necessary documentation, PT Matic enabled the client to resolve a long-standing storage and compliance issue. The project reduced environmental and data protection risks while supporting obligations under healthcare, environmental, and data governance frameworks.
