Reducing Landfill Waste
Located in Camden, New Jersey, the Reworld™ Camden Energy Recovery Center is an award-winning Thermomechanical Treatment Facility that serves the 32 municipalities in Camden County and the surrounding region with reliable and sustainable waste management. Every year, our facility processes more than 390,000 tons of waste that would otherwise have ended up in landfills.
In addition to keeping waste out of landfills, we're committed to ensuring safe operations and minimizing environmental impacts. We have been consistently recognized for exceptional operations, including OSHA's stringent Voluntary Protection Program Star certification.
Our Facility’s Annual Impact
Less waste in landfills reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 825,000 metric tons of CO2. That's like taking 184,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
We produce 21 megawatts of electricity 24/7 with our Waste-to-Energy process - enough to power 16,000 homes for a year.
We also recover 12,700 tons of metal for recycling annually - enough to build 11,000 cars.
Resources
Environmental Performance
We care about our communities and operate well below emissions limits. Over 99.9 percent of what comes out of our plant's stack is what you'd typically find in air - water vapor, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. The remaining constituents are well below federal and state standards.
- Permit Limits are derived from USEPA standards for Large Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR 60, Subparts A, Cb and Eb).
- CO values are the maximum 4-hour block average for that day.
- SO2 and NOx values are the daily (24-hour) block averages for that day.
- Opacity values are the maximum 6-minute average for that day.
- All emission values reported in units consistent with the permit. CO, SO2 and NOx reported as parts per million, dry gas basis at 7% O2 (ppmdv7), Opacity as %, Removal Efficiency as %.
- SO2 compliance is based on concentration (ppm) or removal efficiency (% reduction between inlet and outlet emissions).
- The dash symbol (-) indicates that a unit is off-line, has insufficient data for a compliance period or is in an exempted period.

Camden Green Initiative
Our proposed $60 million dollar upgrade to the facility Air Quality Control system, including state-of-the-art fabric filter baghouses, and creation of a Community Benefits Agreement with Camden residents.
