Greenpac, Covanta Recognized With BIG Sustainability Award Covanta, a world leader in sustainable waste and energy solutions, has been named a winner of the Business Intel- ligence Group (BIG) 2020 Sustainability Awards in the Ser- vice of the Year category for its innovative circular econ- omy partnership with Greenpac Mill LLC in Niagara Falls. According to a press release, “The partnership be- tween the Covanta Niagara Waste-to-Energy facility and Greenpac Mill, a manufacturer of lightweight linerboard, provides a trailblazing example of the benefits of sustain- able collaboration that advances the practical usage of recyclable products, eliminates the consumption of fossil fuels and manages residual waste responsibly. “Considered the most advanced and largest facility of its kind in North America, Greenpac Mill manufactures a lightweight linerboard made with 100 percent recycled fibers. The linerboard is produced with significantly less water and less fiber than similar strength paper, making Greenpac Mill’s product one of the strongest fully recycled linerboard in North America. “The partnership has enabled Greenpac Mill to oper- ate without the use of fossil fuels. In their place, Green- pac Mill is able to use the steam generated by Covanta’s Niagara Falls facility from municipal solid waste (MSW), a reliable and renewable source of energy, for a majority of its energy needs. Covanta converts the mill’s recycling by- products into electricity, which is distributed to six other companies along the steam loop as inputs into their own production processes. It is in this way that waste from one company literally becomes fuel for another, with energy as an output to power the entire community. In leverag- ing the waste-to-energy process for sustainable materials management, all companies in the steam loop are helping to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by diverting waste from landfills, thus avoiding the potent methane emissions they emit. “This circular economy example has proven a recipe for success, resulting in the diversion of more than 17,000 tons of waste per year from landfill, while helping to pro- duce more than 21,000 megawatt hours of renewable en- ergy for the Niagara Region.” “From day one, the Greenpac Mill set out with the goal of having an enhanced green presence in Niagara Falls,” said Murray Hewitt General Manager at Greenpac Mill LLC. “Through our partnership with Covanta, Greenpac Mill is positioned to achieve this goal and is well on its way to achieving zero-waste-to-landfill in the near future.” Greenpac Mill is a state-of-the-art recycled lightweight Linerboard mill producing 540,000 short tons per year. It is a partnership of Cascades Inc., Jamestown Containers and several community partners. The mill is managed by Cascades Containerboard Packaging, a division of Cas- cades Inc.
