The team at Covanta Essex in Newark, NJ recently pledged their support of landmark Environmental Justice legislation in New Jersey.
The company has long been a supporter of this important issue and in 2011, implemented a Community Outreach and Environmental Justice Policy. The policy guides the company’s interaction and engagement with communities around the world, including investments in technology designed to dramatically reduce emissions from its operations.
In Newark, for example, despite already operating well within environmental standards, Covanta invested $90 million in state-of-the-art emissions control technology, or “baghouse” technology as it is referenced in the industry, resulting in further improvement in environmental performance and a reduction in emissions in excess of 90 percent.
