incinerable
Fit for flames
Incinerable means capable of being incinerated—suitable for burning or destruction by fire.
The word appears mainly in waste management contexts, distinguishing materials that can be safely burned from those requiring other disposal methods: incinerable medical waste, non-incinerable plastics.
