Clinical Waste Incineration...

clinical imageIncineration remains the only acceptable waste disposal technique for a significant proportion of the clinical waste generated by the healthcare and associated service sectors. Grundon recognised the importance of incineration for clinical waste and constructed Britain's first ever purpose-designed Clinical Waste incineration plant at Colnbrook, near Heathrow in 1989. The facility and the regulatory controls have been subsequently modified by an IPC Authorisation in 1993 with various minor and major variations including a variation authorising operation in compliance with Hazardous Waste Incineration Directive. A Radioactive Waste Authorisation was issued in 1997. The plant is also authorised by DEFRA / HSE for destruction of GMO Waste, Animal By-Product Waste, Foot and Mouth Disease Waste.

The operation of the plant conforms to the Environmental Management Standard ISO14001, an internationally recognised quality assurance standard. Gaseous emissions are also continuously monitored and recorded to ensure that the plant performance betters standards required under UK and EC legislation.
