Reworld® Publishes 2026 Sustainability Report, Highlighting Measurable Outcomes in Waste Solutions

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Reworld^®, a leader in sustainable waste solutions, published its 2026 Sustainability Report, highlighting its expanded offerings, key milestones and continued momentum in serving customers and communities as a fully integrated waste partner. The report puts people first, underscoring that the company's strength lies in its employees who deliver measurable, real-world impact by embedding sustainability into every aspect of operations, from advanced waste solutions to long-term community partnerships.

"Sustainability at Reworld is driven by science, shaped by partnership and measured through tangible outcomes," said Tequila Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer.

Advancing Scale and Innovation

Reworld is a leading zero waste-to-landfill provider with more than 90 thermomechanical treatment facilities (TTFs), material processing facilities (MPFs) and transfer stations across North America. The company represents 70% of the total TTF capacity in the U.S., and its profiled waste operations now reach more than 45 end markets.

Building on the reach of our integrated platform, Reworld recently launched ReAssure™ PFAS Destruction, an end-to-end solution that helps communities and businesses safely manage their PFAS-containing waste streams at scale.

Globally, the PFAS challenge is enormous. If society is serious about addressing it, the solution is destruction not indefinite storage in landfills that shifts the burden to future generations. ReAssure meets that need by providing customers with access to approximately 17 million tons of processing capacity through TTFs available in all major markets in the U.S., delivering the scale necessary to address PFAS-containing waste. Reworld TTFs process waste at temperatures above 1,100°C (2,012°F), widely cited as effective for PFAS destruction. Testing campaigns at Reworld TTFs have demonstrated 99% destruction and removal of PFAS at a processing capacity scale over 17 times greater than hazardous waste incineration — a capability no other company can offer.
