GADSDEN — Monarch Waste Technologies, a Dallas-based provider of high temperature medical waste destruction solutions, has opened a pyrolysis facility in Gadsden.

This cutting-edge facility is the most technologically advanced pyrolysis system for medical waste destruction in the United States.

“Our newest facility is the result of nearly a decade of team effort fully utilizing the environmental advantages that are unique with Pyrolysis,” said David Cardenas, founder and CEO of MWT. “Our new Alabama facility is the most advanced we have commissioned yet and sets the tone in the industry to promote the development of more facilities in the years ahead.”

The commissioning of the Gadsden facility solidifies MWT’s position as the leader in the field of pyrolysis and the provider of a proven, sustainable, non-incineration alternative for destroying medical waste in an environmentally responsible way.

“By leveraging years of reliable operating data we can ensure that each system we deploy is not only more advanced, but also more economically efficient than the one before,” said COO Tommy Kovatch. “This new facility is proof of our continual dedication to excellence and goal to be the industry standard of pyrolytic destruction for medical waste.”

MWT said it remains dedicated to improving innovation with each system developed throughout the US to address the ever-growing demand and challenges of medical waste destruction.

“From a regulatory perspective, the healthcare waste management industry is extremely challenging with stringent State and Federal compliance requirements for permitting and operating a medical waste facility,” said Bob Blom, facility partner and compliance expert. “We appreciate the expert and diligent efforts of the (Alabama Department of Environmental Management) in their ability to fully understand the uniqueness of our pyrolysis process and their professionalism in the permitting of our facility.”
