A PROVEN ALTERNATIVE TO LANDFILLS

Waste incineration has evolved tremendously in the last 20 years, driven in part by stringent new environmental regulations in the US and Europe.  While it is not a panacea, well-designed incineration systems can deliver lower costs and much-reduced environmental impact than landfills -- especially when the incineration system is carefully matched to the waste stream. 
Depending on the type of waste being destroyed, a Matthews incineration system should drive a 90-95% reduction (by weight) and emit only CO2 and hot air into the atmosphere.  Where regulations require it, Matthews incinerators can be equipment with full Emission Abatement systems to capture even trace elements of HCL, NOX, heavy metals and dioxins.  Because the systems run at extremely high temperatures (above 1800F) they also completely destroy viruses and other pathogens.  This makes incineration the preferred method for medical and pathological waste, even in communities where landfills are otherwise effective.
