Waste Management Solutions for the Military
Waste disposal and management are increasingly critical areas of concern for the U.S. military. Solving problems associated with overflowing landfills, greenhouse gas emissions, and cutting energy and waste-disposal costs is integral to the efficient, effective functioning of our armed forces.

At forward bases, waste management is a security and safety issue. Any equipment that reduces the need to transport waste out of, or fuel into, a base automatically improves base security and helps ensure the safety of our personnel.
The GEM 3T120 offers the Armed Forces just such a solution. Originally funded by the Department of Defense, the first GEM will be installed at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California later this year. Designed for rugged environments and capable of generating heat and electricity from a mixed waste stream, the GEM offers military installations the flexibility and efficiency demanded by complex operations in demanding environments.
The U.S. military is in the forefront of America’s efforts to meet stringent environmental standards throughout all its operations. The GEM and IST Energy’s complementary, vertically integrated waste management services can help any military installation meet the most stringent environmental goals using cost-efficient and innovative methods.
Our parent company, Infoscitex, has for the past decade provided engineering solutions to the Department of Defense and the aerospace and medical industries. IST Energy brings that expertise to bear on a targeted waste services offering for military clients.
