The Energy Recovery Council

The Energy Recovery Council (ERC) is a trade organization that advocates for and supports the use of waste-to-energy technologies. These technologies convert non-recyclable waste into useful energy, such as electricity or heat, helping reduce landfill use and generate renewable energy. The ERC collaborates with industry stakeholders, policymakers, and communities to promote safe, sustainable waste management practices. Its goal is to ensure that energy recovery from waste is recognized as a valuable and environmentally responsible component of integrated waste management systems.
