CliniPower’s sterilisation plant, which began operation in 2018, gives our clients another option for the safe, suitable treatment of certain types of waste, traditionally sent to landfills.

Our alternative plant utilises a dry sterilisation technology with a pre process shredding system which not only completely sterilises the waste material, but renders it suitable for use as RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) – a zero to landfill solution.

This type of treatment has been in use for orange bag type clinical waste for a number of years but thanks to the way our plant is powered from our Pyrolysis system, Clinipower can now offer a treatment process that is not only fully compliant, but environmentally outstanding without the need to use fossil fuels in the process.

Some example of clinical waste that can be treated by sterilisation are; soiled dressings and garments, wipes, other general infectious waste and any other waste that belongs in an orange-lidded clinical waste bin.
