What is it about?
This paper describes the development and test results of an ozone oxidation system to consume organic wastes with high destruction removal efficiency. Surrogates were used to simulate the waste stream produced by ISS crew members. The products of the low temperature (~130C) reaction are carbon dioxide and water.

Why is it important?
Solid wastes onboard the International Space Station are currently sealed in plastic bags and stored until disposal via a crew resupply vehicle. Methods are needed to efficiently safen and eliminate these wastes.
