Environmental Aspects

The PTDR Waste-to-Energy Technology is environmentally benign

PTDR waste-to-energy facilities eclipse the most stringent of environmental standards. The

PTDR technology has received numerous regulatory approvals throughout the globe, including:

United States Environmental Protection Agency

Taiwanese Environmental Protection Agency

Taiwan Ministry of Education

Kaohsiung Department of Environmental Protection

Virginia Department of Environmental Quality

Alabama Department of Environmental Management

City of Huntsville Natural Resources Division

San Diego Air Pollution Control District

Indiana Department of Environmental Management

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality

California Department of Public Health

During the permitting effort in San Diego, the PTDR waste-to-energy Technology was certified

as an "alterative-to-incineration" technology for medical waste in the State of California. Click

Additionally, independent laboratory tests have proven that the glass product does not leach

(toxicity characteristic leaching procedure), also known as "TCLP" This information

demonstrates the glass product is totally benign, safe for any re-utilization (i.e. recycling).

The PTDR glass product exceeds the most rigorous TCLP standard.
