How will new US EPA air emission requirements for incineration affect the use of EWIs process?
New U.S. EPA requirements for incineration will have a profound positive effect on EWI and our medical waste treatment system. The U.S. EPA estimates that the new requirements will cause 80% of existing medical waste incinerators to close and will prevent as many as 80% of those planned to be cancelled. The cost of retrofitting many of these older medical waste incinerators with the pollution control devices to meet the requirements will be too high. We believe that this will significantly increase the need and the demand for Reverse Polymerization units.
