WEST WARWICK Nicholas Campanella insists the facility he’s proposing that would turn medical waste into electricity is a renewable-energy project that not only poses no threat to public health but would also advance the state’s environmental goals.
“We’re creating renewable energy, enough to power about a thousand homes,” the CEO of MedRecycler-RI said at a recent public meeting. “And what we’re also doing is we’re also going to help extend the life of the landfill.”
The 1.2-megawatt plant proposed in an industrial park in West Warwick would employ a technique called pyrolysis that uses extreme heat to break down needles, tubing, gloves and other medical waste into combustible tar and gas that can then be burned to generate electricity. Although pyrolysis is not new, using it to process medical waste is. There is only one such facility in the United States.
