By Greentech Lead America: Covanta Energy, a sustainable waste management and renewable energy provider, has opened a new metal recycling system at its Energy-from-Waste (EfW) Facility in Fairfax County, VA. The system is specially designed to recover very small particles of non-ferrous metal. Covanta partnered with Steinert US, for non-ferrous metal recovery systems. The partnership is supporting the implementation of new non-ferrous systems at many Covanta facilities that currently do not have them and enhances systems that are already in place, as in the case of Covanta Fairfax. "Improving efficiency and sustainability are key aspects of our culture and as such, we are continuously looking for new ways to recover value from waste and divert materials from landfills. I'm proud of the way our team recognized the opportunity to recycle additional non-ferrous metal and quickly got this new system up and running," said Seth Myones, Covanta's chief operating officer.
