The Waste-to-Energy Research and Technology (WTERT) Council is a top-tier technical group that brings together engineers, scientists and officials from industry, academies, and government around the world in the effort to increase the recovery of materials and energy from waste and reduce the environmental impacts of waste disposal. In particular, the mission of the WTERT Council is to advance both the economic and environmental performance of WTE technologies in the U.S and worldwide.

 

The Integrated Waste Services Association (IWSA) promotes integrated solutions to municipal solid waste management. IWSA strives to encourage the use of waste-to-energy technology as a key component of community solid waste programs.

 

 

Covanta is a member of the California Climate Action Registry, a distinguished group of organizations demonstrating leadership by voluntarily taking action on climate change. The Climate Action Registry is working to reach a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse gases by 2020 and has recognized biomass energy and Energy-from-Waste as valuable resources for achieving this goal. The California Registry named Covanta a “Climate Action Leader” for voluntarily calculating, verifying and publicly reporting its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under its rigorous program.

 

Prior to the U.S. EPA implementing mandatory greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reporting requirements [in 2010], Covanta was a Founding Member of The Climate Registry, a non-profit  organization established to measure and publicly report GHGs in a common, accurate and transparent manner consistent across industry sectors and borders. Covanta is also a member of the Global Roundtable on Climate Change (GROCC), a group of high level, critical stakeholders from all regions of the world, who discuss and explore areas of potential consensus regarding core scientific, technological, and economic issues critical to shaping sound public policies on climate change.
