From page 1...
... The issues involved in shipboard pollution control are a complex mixture of Navy management, congressional mandate, international agreements, environmental community concerns. and technology.

From page 2...
... Plastic burns readily and can be burned with quite acceptable emissions, notwithstanding environmental objections to incineration of plastics at sea (NRC, 1995~. These waste streams may be kept separate to enable recycling of one or more types of material.

From page 3...
... Beyond the Annex V materials, a further major advantage of incineration is the ability to destroy food waste, bilge oil, gray water and black water solids, oily rags, medical waste, classified documents, and so on. With careful management of air emissions and solid residues (ash, metal, and glass)

From page 4...
... The advanced technologies under consideration as substitutes for incineration include plasma arc, supercritical water oxidation, molten metal reduction, molten salt processing, and vitrification. A number of these processes are already receiving Navy support, including plasma arc and supercritical water oxidation (supported by the Advanced Research Projects Agency WARPATH.

... The additional development and testing of the equipment recommended in this report pose another question that requires Navy input. Both the mechanical compaction apparatus and the modern incinerators have been in commercial production for some years, and extensive marine experience has been demonstrated with positive results.
