🔥 High-temperature #incineration is one of Veolia’s solutions for treating hazardous waste when no other recycling or recovery options are suitable. Incineration eliminates the waste’s toxic potential and reduces its volume by breaking down complex organic molecules. This thermal treatment process is used for a wide range of hazardous #waste from industry, healthcare and local authorities, including: 🔹 contaminated packaging and materials 🔹 oily sludge 🔹 pharmaceutical 🔹 reagents Veolia’s R&D department strives to reduce the carbon footprint of the high-temperature incineration process, focusing on capturing CO2 emitted by incineration by-products during combustion. The Group conducts furnace tests, looking at using energy from the incineration process to maintain combustion temperatures. It is also examining energy storage solutions as a way of reducing the electricity required to heat the air needed for incineration. Veolia operates over 60 specialist incineration plants worldwide, safely processing these waste streams from A to Z to protect public #health and the #environment. 🔗To learn more about hazardous waste: https://lnkd.in/efNjNGzN
