MAGS is a commercial technology being used on board various types of cruise ships, commercial ships and by various industrial clients and has been validated to effectively destroy medical waste. However, MAGS is not currently installed in a hospital setting due primarily to hurdles associated with implanting new innovative technologies and environmental challenges. Mazzetti and Terragon are working to implement pilot projects with healthcare facilities that are seriously looking at reducing/eliminating their carbon footprints in the coming years. In the case of a pilot project, Terragon and Mazzetti would provide the Hospital Partner with a Carbon Emissions analysis comparison with their business-as-usual waste management model at the end of the pilot project to demonstrate the results of implementing a waste-to-energy system.

There is the possibility of a company offering waste to energy as a service. The service would offer hospitals to treat their on-site waste at a specific rate  ($/lb) of waste processed. The advantage of this approach is that a hospital would not have to pay the upfront equipment cost. Such a model may work particularly well in a location with several hospitals in close proximity who might be able to share cost.
