Reworld™ Honored with Environmental Excellence Award by Virginia Water Environment Association

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – March 10, 2025 – Reworld™, a leader in sustainable waste solutions, has been awarded its second consecutive Platinum Level Award for Environmental Excellence by the Virginia Water Environment Association (VWEA), a non-profit, technical and educational organization focused on producing quality programs for continuing education and training for members, the technical community and the general public. This esteemed recognition underscores the unwavering commitment by Reworld™ to environmental protection and its innovative approach to sustainable waste solutions. For the second year in a row, Reworld™ was nominated by AlexRenew, the wastewater authority for the City of Alexandria and portions of Fairfax County.

The Platinum Level Award for Environmental Excellence celebrates organizations that have strong environmental records that go above and beyond permitted requirements. The Reworld™ Alexandria Thermomechanical Treatment Facility (TTF) on Eisenhower Avenue was selected as the recipient of this accolade for demonstrating dedication and commitment to sustainability by achieving 100% compliance with its wastewater discharge permit requirements for over five consecutive years. Consistent with this performance and with its commitment to protecting the environment, Reworld™ has also implemented novel methods for achieving minimal discharge rates to AlexRenew by using wastewater in boiler operations.

“The Virginia Water Environment Association (VWEA) is pleased to award Reworld™ Alexandria a VWEA Platinum Award for environmental excellence,” said Ryan Hendrix, VWEA President. “Reworld™ Alexandria’s continued dedication to pollution prevention and pretreatment permit compliance demonstrates the company’s commitment to being good neighbors and stewards of the environment.

We applaud them for their success and thank the entire Reworld™ team for their part in creating a healthy water environment for Virginia.”

"We are honored to be recognized by the Virginia Water Environment Association for our ongoing efforts to promote environmental excellence and sustainability," said Peter Mayer, Facility Manager at Reworld™ Alexandria. "This award is a testament to our team's dedication to creating solutions that address waste management challenges while prioritizing environmental responsibility."

The commitment by Reworld™ to environmental stewardship is reflected in its state-of-the-art TTFs, which convert non-recyclable waste into clean, renewable energy. By diverting waste from landfills and harnessing its renewable energy potential, Reworld™ plays a pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving natural resources.

In addition to its resource recovery initiatives, Reworld™ actively engages with its local communities to contribute over 6,000 service hours annually that promote sustainable waste management practices and environmental education. This also includes providing educational opportunities through the Reworld™ Environmental Scholarship, in collaboration with the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria.
