Product catalog summary
Introduction
Inciner8 Limited has been involved in a project aimed at combating the spread of HIV in Zimbabwe by providing incineration solutions. This initiative aligns with the United Nations' 90-90-90 target to reduce the HIV and AIDS pandemic by 90% by 2020.
Project Overview
The project focuses on improving infrastructure, hygiene, and health levels in facilities where critical care is administered. The United Nations, in collaboration with Zimbabwe's Ministry of Health and Child Care, purchased two high-capacity i8-250 Medical Incinerators for sites in Harare and Bulawayo.
Key Issues Addressed
The project addresses two main issues: preventing the spread of disease and correctly disposing of contaminated waste. These issues are crucial in reducing cross-contamination and fatalities.
Incinerator Specifications
The i8-250 models feature a large door, top-loading design, and a 2-second retention time at 850ºC. They are high-capacity units designed to destroy contaminated waste on-site, reducing the risk of disease spread and leaving only sterile ash residue.
Benefits
This initiative is a significant step towards helping the international community combat and eradicate HIV. The incinerators ensure safe disposal of medical waste, contributing to better health outcomes in affected regions.

Medical Waste in Africa - Case Study-1

CASE STUDY Incineration used in fight against HIV in Zimbabwe The prevention of HIV in the poorest regions of Africa has been an ongoing issue for decades and the United Nations has always been at the forefront of providing solutions to the most common problems such as 1) how to prevent the spread of disease and 2) how to correctly dispose of contaminated waste. These two main issues give rise to a multitude or risks such as cross-contamination and increased fatalities so when the United Nations went looking for an incinerator supplier for a new waste facility in 2017, we were thrilled to be chosen for such a sensitive project. In collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Child Care in Zimbabwe, the United Nations purchased two high capacity i8-250 Medical Incinerators for installation at two sites in Harare and Bulawayo. United Nations’ 90-90-90 ambitious target to help end the HIV and Aids pandemic by 90% in 2020 The organisations we are working with are all committed to achieving this and are currently on track to exceed this. Programmes like this are all about improving the infrastructure, hygiene and health levels surrounding facilities where this critical care is administered.
