“At Covanta, we make sure that no waste is ever wasted”
That is the message that sums up the entirety of Covanta Holding Corp’s mission.
Everyone knows that humans are creating too much waste, too fast and not disposing of it responsibly. That is where Covanta comes in and provides with solutions to help keep the dirt off of our earth.
What is Covanta’s Purpose:
Covanta aims to work with different companies and communities and to help them find sustainable solutions to their waste management challenges. “With a global network of Energy-from-Waste and Material Processing Facilities, Covanta is preserving valuable natural resources and generating clean energy for our client communities and the world we live in” as they say on their website.
What It Offers:
Covanta offers extensive and detailed waste management and consulting services perfectly suited to the specific company’s needs. Be it field and onsite services, assured destruction, recycling and de-packaging solutions, liquid waste management and treatment and everything else, they seem to have you covered.
Covanta operates 42 energy from wastef facilities in North America, China and Europe. The company earns money from tipping fees for taking in tons of municipal trash; it forms long-term contracts with utilities to sell the electricity generated from burning that trash. It also makes money from the ferrous and nonferrous metals it recovers from the huge piles of waste deposited at its facilities.
Chief Executive Stephen Jones said that “the company recycles more than 550,000 tons of metal a year, enough to build the Golden Gate Bridge six times. “That provides between $90 [million]and $100 million in revenue a year, just from what we pull out after combustion.”
We need more initiatives like this where energy is coming from our waste to ensure our earth’s safety!
