“This unique agreement solves some of the constraints that have
challenged the industry in the past several years,” said Jeff
Beswick, President of Clean Earth. “We are pleased to partner with
Veolia on an initiative that will benefit our customers and the
nation.”
Fred Van Heems, Veolia North America’s President and CEO, said,
“Demand is growing across the U.S. for the safe, sustainable
management of complex waste streams from the resurgent growth of
research and manufacturing in North America. In addition, the
facility will provide needed capacity to support contaminants of
emerging concern. This agreement provides a solution for the gap in
the industry. We have a long-standing relationship with Clean
Earth, and we are pleased to work together to solve some of the
country’s most difficult environmental challenges at our new
facility.”
Veolia’s new facility will be powered by local decarbonizing
energy generated directly on-site, North America’s first for a
hazardous waste plant. The power will be supplied by capturing
waste heat recovered from a boiler and steam turbine and generating
five megawatts of on-site solar power per hour, creating a more
sustainable option for the marketplace and benefiting consumers and
the public. A plan to reforest nearly 1,500 acres surrounding the
property will sequester carbon emissions, provide protection for
local habitat, and prevent erosion.
Veolia North America will increase waste treatment access for
Clean Earth throughout 2024 to ramp up activities for a smooth
transition in 2025.
