While some units eventually close, and some new units have been added, waste-to-energy facilities have a proven track record of operational availability, reliability. Challenging market conditions in the energy and waste markets have served as an impediment to constructing more facilities and recovering energy from more of the 250 million tons of post-recycled waste that
