Im still reading it... but this cited reference stopped me dead in my track:

These [medical] plastic wastes (PW) generated during COVID-19 upon pyrolysis treatments can provide valuable energy-producing products like liquid oil, gases (syngas, hydrogen gas), hydrocarbons and char (Tenenbaum, 2020). The liquid oil so formed as one of the byproducts has a high heating value, which possesses characteristics very similar to any commercial fossil fuel (Kaufman and Chasan, 2020).

What an absolutely fantastic find!!! Wow! Thanks so much!!

Nice find, not a place I would looked for the topic. Great find.

$SNPW $$$$$

We need abut 100 of us to cite and send this to RI-State Legislature and RI-DEM tonight. Mail bomb them!!! Be fore the next meeting.

This is perfect!!!

COVID-19 has led to the enormous rise of medical wastes throughout the world, and these have mainly been generated from hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare establishments. This creates an additional challenge in medical waste management, particularly in developing countries. Improper managing of medical waste may have serious public health issues and a significant impact on the environment. There are currently three disinfection technologies, namely incineration, chemical and physical processes, that are available to treat COVID-19 medical waste (CMW).

This study focuses on thermochemical process, particularly pyrolysis process to treat the medical waste.

Pyrolysis is a process that utilizes the thermal instability of organic components in medical waste to convert them into valuable products. Besides, the technique is environmentally friendly, more efficient and cost-effective, requires less landfill capacity, and causes lower pollution.

The current pandemic situation generates a large amount of plastic medical wastes, which mainly consists of polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, and nylon. These plastic wastes can be converted into valuable energy products like oil, gas and char through pyrolysis process. This review provides detailed information about CMW handling, treatment, valuable product generation, and proper discharge into the open environment.

Good find, had not seen that. And a credible source as well.
