- A new agreement ensures guaranteed access to high-temperature thermal treatment capacity for Ingenium at Veolia’s new state-of-the-art facility in Gum Springs, Arkansas, which will open in 2025 to meet the growing needs of the market.
- The agreement also ensures Ingenium access to guaranteed capacity at Veolia’s existing thermal, landfill and fuel blending facilities in the US.
Ingenium and Veolia North America announced a strategic partnership providing guaranteed access to Veolia’s new high-temperature treatment facility in Gum Springs, Arkansas. Opening in 2025, this state-of-the-art facility will address the growing industry demand for waste treatment capacity.
The agreement also ensures Ingenium access to guaranteed capacity at Veolia’s existing thermal, landfill and fuel blending facilities in the US.
Veolia’s facility at Gum Springs will set a new industry standard for the safe, efficient and reliable treatment of waste materials, and the agreement with Ingenium – which comes months before the facility opens – will help both companies meet the needs of the market. The agreement takes effect immediately.
As part of Veolia’s Green Up strategy, and in alignment with both companies’ sustainability goals, Veolia’s new facility will employ advanced operational and power generation technology, including waste heat recovery and on-site solar power generation to reduce environmental impact.
“This strategic partnership with Veolia North America is a significant step forward for Ingenium and our commitment to providing sustainable waste management solutions. Securing guaranteed access to Veolia’s state-of-the-art facilities, particularly the new Gum Springs location, ensures we can meet the demand for hazardous waste treatment while upholding our dedication to innovation and integrity,” said Heather Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, Ingenium.
“This partnership between Veolia North America and Ingenium is yet another example of environmental leaders collaborating to maximize the limited thermal treatment capacity in the US for the benefit of our nation’s growing industrial base. Ingenium’s strong presence in the western US makes them a key strategic partner and we look forward to working together,” said Bob Cappadona, President and Chief Executive Officer of Veolia North America’s Environmental Solutions and Services business. “This collaboration is also fully aligned with Veolia’s GreenUp strategic plan, in which the management of hazardous waste is seen as a critical enabler of U.S. reindustrialization—by providing essential infrastructure to support sustainable industrial growth while advancing environmental stewardship.”
