This document discusses Veolia ES, a waste-to-energy company, and provides an overview of the waste-to-energy industry in North America. It notes that Veolia ES operates 11 waste-to-energy plants across North America, processing over 4.6 million tons of waste annually. The waste-to-energy industry as a whole has 89 plants, processes 30.5 million tons of waste per year, and generates 2,300 megawatts of energy. The document predicts the industry will continue to grow as landfill capacity decreases and recycling levels off, and that while existing mass-burn plants will be expanded, new plants may utilize alternative waste-to-energy technologies.
