Medical Waste to Energy
Our innovative Microwave Disinfection System thoroughly disinfects medical waste, renders the material unrecognizable via shredding and reduces its volume by approximately 80 percent, saving landfill space. Once treated, the regulated medical waste can be disposed of as non-regulated solid waste in landfills or as a sustainable alternative used for feedstock at waste-to-energy facilities, helping companies reach their sustainability goals.
