AIR EMISSIONS
EfW
Landfill
Highly regulated advanced
air pollution control.
Minimally regulated minimal
air pollution control.

CLIMATE CHANGE
EfW
Landfill
GhG

1 ton of greenhouse gas
avoided
Leading source of
greenhouse gas emissions
Every ton of MSW managed at an EfW facility
offsets approximately 1 ton of greenhouse gas
emissions.
Landfills are a leading source of Methane, a
powerful greenhouse gas 72x stronger than
CO2.

NEARLY 10x THE ENERGY CONVERSION
EfW
13
Landfill
550 KWh per ton
65 KWh per ton
Enough energy to power the average home
for 2 weeks.
Enough to power the average home for 2
days.

METAL RECOVERY
EfW
14
Landfill
50lbs. per ton
0lbs.per ton
For each ton of MSW processed Covanta EfW
facilities recover 50lbs. of metal.
Landfills bury valuable metal with the MSW and no
recovery is made.

LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY
EfW
15
Landfill
One hour to process
100+ years to process
It takes about an hour to process material and
recover energy to the grid.
MSW degrades in landfills for 100 years or more
with uncontrolled emissions presenting long-term
environmental liability.
