CVA

Covanta Holding Corp

A waste-to-energy company that burns municipal trash in power-plant-like facilities to generate electricity, while also recovering and recycling metals from the ash. Now operating under the name Reworld, it serves cities and businesses across the US. It traces its roots to the Ogden Corporation, a Chicago conglomerate founded in 1939 that once dabbled in everything from food to greyhound racing, before focusing on energy in 2001 and taking the Covanta name. In 2024 it rebranded as Reworld to signal its shift toward broader sustainable waste solutions.
