Covanta Environmental Solutions, a leading provider of environmental services across a wide range of industries, opened a new materials processing facility to serve customers with the latest in sustainable materials management and environmental service in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

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. 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 technology 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."
