Incinerated items include food scraps, hydroponic waste, human waste returned from the field, any infectious or contaminated materials and medical waste, food soiled LDP plastics, and some cardboard and wood.
No open burning is allowed except at some of the field huts on Macquarie Island. Incineration occurs in two stage, high temperature burners with low emission levels.
