Location: Pacific Ocean
Clients: PacWaste / SPREP
Waste Type: Medical & Hazardous waste
Solution(s) Supplied: i8-M15, i8M-60, i8M-75

The PacWaste project consisted of the installation and commissioning of 26 state-of-the-art healthcare waste incinerators in Kiribati, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu

These high temperature medical incinerators ensure that biohazardous waste (such as pathological, Type I – IV, Pharmaceuticals) will be treated in accordance with international guidelines on the safe processing of hazardous waste streams. These are the first of 26 incinerators commissioned by PacWaste to the Pacific region’s key hospitals and health clinics.

The dual chamber incinerators will play an important role in improved public and environmental health across the Pacific region:

“As well as providing a mechanism for the safe disposal of healthcare waste, the new incinerators will reduce the quantity of dangerous airborne contaminants, like dioxins, that previously occurred through the uncontrolled or low temperature burning of healthcare waste.”
