... This not only achieves the minimum attainable volume, but the resulting block or disc forms a plastic skin that encapsulates food contamination. The Navy is proceeding with a plan to install its plastics processor fleetwide.

... Pulpers in its 1993 plan, the Navy proposed to process food, paper, and cardboard waste by "pulping." With this technology, the waste material is reduced in size and entrained in water as a slurry that can be conveniently pumped from one place to another and discharged into the sea. In separate operations, water content can be reduced substantially (dewatered)

... Clearly, to have a convincing set of data as to the biological effects of discharged pulp wastes, much more extensive experimentation will be necessary. The committee endorses support of an experimental program (of viable size)
