Covanta Holding Corporation

Covanta Holding is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, the company is engaged in the businesses of waste and energy services. The company provides waste and energy solutions through a variety of service offerings, including its main business of owning and operating infrastructure for the conversion of waste to energy (known as energy-from-waste or EfW). EfW facilities produce energy through the combustion of non-hazardous municipal solid waste (MSW) in power plants. Most of the company's facilities are mass-burn facilities, which combust the MSW on an as-received basis without any pre-processing such as shredding, sorting or sizing.
