Our Environmental Focus
A characteristic of the partnerships Ace Waste has forged with its clients is the help our Company provides to combating climate change – one of the most important environmental issues facing us all today.
The guiding influence on this philosophy is Ace Waste’s Environmental Management System (EMS) which sets strict limits on the environmental impacts of our activities.
Ace Waste’s facilities are the only waste disposal facility continuously (real time) monitored 24 hours per day by the Environmental Protection Agency and our Queensland facility has over 90,000 hours of incident free data.
Continuous monitoring covers temperatures and air flows at the various stages as well as combustion efficiency parameters (ie oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels) and PH monitoring in the air pollution control system. The data provided to the Environmental Protection Agency is used by that authority to provide graphic records on the performance of the incinerator and used for comparison with Licence conditions.
Alternative methods of disposal of clinical and related waste utilise ultimate burial of the waste in landfill operations. Landfilling of treated medical waste produces 24 times more greenhouse gas emissions than high temperature incineration.
