What are the wastes that can be safely treated by waste incinerators?

I. Medical waste . Medical waste is a growing problem worldwide. Medical waste can be generated from a variety of sites. Some of the most common are: hospitals, health clinics, laboratories, and during disease outbreaks. If it is not destroyed efficiently, it can pose a health risk to staff, patients and waste handlers. In some cases, the public is also at risk due to improper disposal of medical waste. Hazardous materials at these sites cannot simply be discarded. Waste incinerator equipment is the only tool proven to destroy and neutralize medical waste. Approximately 20-25% of the total waste generated by medical facilities is hazardous. Waste incinerators can protect everyone who works in the space by destroying the waste on site.

II. Animal waste. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) states that "suspected or confirmed infected animal carcasses, or parts of animal carcasses, must be disposed of by incineration..." Failure to dispose of animal waste (including garbage, carcasses and by-products) can lead to the spread of infections and viruses from animal to animal, as well as contaminating the food and drinking water we eat. Incineration using a waste incinerator is the only way to ensure complete biosecurity.

Third, general waste. "General" waste, which does not fall into specific categories such as animal or medical, can include waste from military operations, mining operations, small communities, remote housing estates and even boarding schools. It is normally harmless waste, but needs to be destroyed to minimize its impact on the environment.
