Every year, Americans consume approximately $190 billion dollars of goods.


We generate nearly 230 million tons of consumer discards.


We generate nearly 50 million tons of industrial and manufacturing discards.


We generate nearly 15 million tons of off specification and expired products.


The entire population of the US only weighs about 74 million tons.


• THERE ARE ONLY TWO TECHNOLOGIES WITH ENOUGH SCALE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM

LandfillEfW


• LET’S TALK ABOUT ENERGY-FROM-WASTE (EfW)


•THIS IS WHAT A MODERN EfW FACILITY LOOKS LIKE


Why is EfW Superior to Landfill?


• AIR EMISSIONS

Highly regulated advanced air pollution control.Regulated by EPA Title III Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards (MACT).

Minimally regulated minimal air pollution control.Over 170 air pollutants and 46 air toxins, including 4 known carcinogens.

LandfillEfW


• CLIMATE CHANGE

1 ton of greenhouse gas avoidedEvery ton of MSW managed at an EfW facility offsets approximately 1 ton of greenhouse gas emissions.

Leading source of greenhouse gas emissionsLandfills are a leading source of Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas 72x stronger than CO2.

• NEARLY 10x THE ENERGY CONVERSION

LandfillEfW

550 KWh per tonEnough energy to power the average home for 2 weeks.

65 KWh per tonEnough to power the average home for 2 days.


• METAL RECOVERY

LandfillEfW

50lbs. per tonFor each ton of MSW processed Covanta EfW facilities recover 50lbs. of metal.

0lbs.per tonLandfills bury valuable metal with the MSW and no recovery is made.


Landfill

• LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY

EfW

One hour to processIt takes about an hour to process material and recover energy to the grid.

100+ years to processMSW degrades in landfills for 100 years or more with uncontrolled emissions presenting long-term environmental liability.
