BIRDHILL, Ireland, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)<\/a> — Envetec Sustainable Technologies Limited (Envetec), a leading sustainability innovator in clean technology for healthcare and life sciences, today announced that the California Department of Public Health has approved GENERATIONS\u00ae as an alternative medical waste treatment technology for biohazardous and sharps waste in California.<\/p>\n

The decision adds California to Envetec\u2019s expanding U.S. regulatory footprint, following approvals in New York, Texas and Massachusetts. It strengthens Envetec\u2019s ability to support major healthcare and life sciences organizations seeking a consistent approach to medical waste treatment and resource recovery across their operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia approval marks a significant step in Envetec\u2019s U.S. growth and strengthens our ability to serve one of the country\u2019s leading healthcare and life sciences markets,\u201d said Malcolm Bell, CEO of Envetec. \u201cIt builds on the regulatory progress we have made across the U.S. and provides organizations with a clearer path to adopt a consistent, scientifically validated alternative to traditional thermal treatment. The additional work completed during California\u2019s review also demonstrates the strength of the evidence supporting GENERATIONS and its ability to move more medical waste from disposal to resource recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

The patented GENERATIONS\u00ae technology simultaneously shreds and disinfects biohazardous waste using a non-thermal process. Treated material is rendered unidentifiable, while suitable polymer streams are converted into recyclable flake that is microbiologically safe for transport to downstream processing.<\/p>\n

Envetec\u2019s submission documented a 6 log10 reduction in bacterial spores, meeting the STAATT IV microbial-inactivation standard. As part of its review, the California Department of Public Health requested additional validation of treatment performance within needle lumens, the narrow internal channels of needles. Envetec completed this work, providing further evidence of the technology\u2019s ability to treat complex medical waste items.<\/p>\n

The California submission also included scientific and environmental evidence comparing GENERATIONS with traditional thermal treatment. For the biopharmaceutical use case assessed, the analysis reported a nearly 93% reduction in waste-processing emissions and an 80.6% reduction in water use per 100 metric tons of waste.<\/p>\n

The submission also referenced Envetec\u2019s recycling pilot with Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD), which found that high-quality polymers, including polystyrene, PET, polypropylene, and polyethylene, could be reused in manufacturing supply chains following treatment and processing.<\/p>\n

The approval expands Envetec\u2019s ability to support healthcare and life sciences organizations seeking safe, more sustainable alternatives to conventional medical waste treatment in a growing number of U.S. markets.<\/p>\n
