Stericycle Inc., a provider of regulated medical waste management and secure information destruction solutions, has unveiled its latest medical waste incinerator in McCarran, Nev. According to Stericycle, nearly $110 million was invested to construct and equip the 110,000-square-foot facility with innovative systems and engineering advancements. The new plant will also reduce Stericycle's dependency on water and natural gas: A process water reuse system will result in no industrial wastewater discharge, and the facility is using reclaimed water with onsite treatment. Stericycle also added waste-to-energy technology, which will generate steam energy from the waste treatment process that will be used to provide energy to heat water for container washers versus using natural gas.
