This study has relied primarily on desktop research to generate a decision-making tool to assist with the selection of Healthcare Waste (HCW) treatment technologies. The tool can be used to inform planning decisions within the Pacific context, although specific contextual considerations (such as geographical, financial and socio-political requirements) need to be applied by those using the tool. The diverse context of the Pacific region has been considered during the research.
