BIRDHILL, Ireland, May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Envetec Sustainable Technologies Limited (Envetec), a leading sustainability innovator in clean technology for healthcare and life sciences, today announced that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has approved its GENERATIONS® technology as an alternative treatment method for the on-site treatment of regulated medical and biological waste in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
“Massachusetts approval confirms that GENERATIONS meets stringent regulatory requirements for the safe and effective on-site treatment of regulated medical and biological waste,” said Malcolm Bell, CEO of Envetec. “Based on our scientific and operational data, GENERATIONS can help customers meet their sustainability goals, including CO2 reduction, landfill avoidance, and recycling of waste streams that incumbent thermal processes such as autoclaving and incineration cannot achieve.”
The patented GENERATIONS technology both shreds and disinfects regulated medical and biological waste and meets the minimum STAATT IV (6 log10) microbial inactivation standard.
Massachusetts regulates medical or biological waste under 105 CMR 480.000, including 105 CMR 480.550, which allows the Department of Public Health to approve alternative treatment. The Department’s approval of GENERATIONS provides regulatory clarity for organizations standardizing on-site treatment in Massachusetts.
With approvals in New York, Texas, and Massachusetts, Envetec is expanding the U.S. regulatory footprint for GENERATIONS, supporting healthcare systems, biopharmaceutical manufacturers, contract laboratories, and other organizations seeking standardized, sustainable treatment solutions across multiple sites and jurisdictions. Envetec also anticipates approval in additional key states, with submissions under review.
