Reducing Landfill Waste
Located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, the Reworld Plymouth Renewable Energy Facility is an award-winning Thermomechanical Treatment Facility that serves communities and businesses across Eastern Pennsylvania with reliable and sustainable waste management. Every year, our facility processes more than 400,000 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 798,000 metric tons of CO2. That's like taking 178,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
We produce 32 megawatts of electricity 24/7 with our Waste-to-Energy process - enough to power 20,000 homes for a year.
We also recover 8,000 tons of metal for recycling annually - enough to build 6,000 cars and produce 68 million aluminum cans.
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 (as seen below) are well below federal and state standards.
- CO values are the maximum 4-hr block average for that day.
- SO2, HCL and NOx values are the daily (24-hr) 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, HCL and NOx reported as parts per million, dry gas basis at 7% O2 (ppmdv7), Opacity as %, Removal Efficiency as % - SO2 and HCL compliance based on concentration (ppm) or removal efficiency (% reduction between inlet and outlet emissions).
- CO emissions during periods of unit startup and shutdown are exempt as per the Title V Operating permit.
