Caprius, Inc. company owns a majority interest in MCM Environmental Technologies, which provides systems for disposal of medical waste. Its SteriMed system can crush, grind, shred, and mix all types of medical waste, including metal sharps and needles, plastic tubing and IV bags, and glass items. Once this process is complete, MCM's Steri-Cid chemical process disinfects the waste, which can then be discarded as regular waste at as little as 10% of the original volume. MCM manufactures the SteriMed system in Israel; the company distributes parts and supplies from facilities in Israel. Officers and directors, led by Austin W. Marxe and David M. Greenhouse hold about 22% of Caprius.
