MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Covanta
Environmental Solutions, a leading provider of environmental
services across a wide range of industries, has opened a new
materials processing facility to serve customers with the latest in
sustainable materials management and environmental
services.
The new facility, spanning across 13 acres of formerly vacant
industrial property allows Covanta Environmental Solutions to
expand and grow its services in Milwaukee and throughout the Midwest, after 20
years of success at a former site in the city. The facility
provides services including liquid and solid waste recycling and
treatment, product de-packaging, tanker, railcar and industrial
facility cleaning, and houses a fleet of vehicles that provide
on-site cleanups, remediation and transportation services.
"We continue to grow our environmental services business by
expanding our non-hazardous liquid and solid waste collection,
transportation and treatment capabilities. Our investment in this
new facility demonstrates our commitment to staying in Milwaukee and our dedication to offering more
sustainable solutions for our customers," said Paul Stauder, president of Covanta Environmental
Solutions.
The new material processing facility is double the capacity of
the company's former site and is capable of treating more than 60
million gallons of liquid waste annually to return clean, reusable
water to local supplies. The facility also houses Covanta
Environmental Solutions' innovative UnWrapp technology ("Using New
Ways to Recycle All Packaged Products"), that efficiently and
securely de-packages and recycles consumer products that have been
recalled, expired, or discarded as a result of being damaged or
off-spec.
"Job creation starts with businesses like Covanta making
investments in the community," stated Milwaukee Common Council
President Ashanti Hamilton. "This
new state-of-the-art facility provides well-paying jobs and will
provide new career opportunities as the business continues to grow.
I commend Covanta for making this important investment in our
city."
Covanta Environmental Solutions works with industries including
pharmaceuticals, consumer products, health and beauty, food,
automotive, chemicals and other manufacturers. The company's
services help solve some of the toughest environmental challenges
faced by these industries and minimize risk.
