(CSRwire) ALBANY, N.Y., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- At its recent Annual Meeting, the New
York State Association for Reduction, Reuse & Recycling (NYSAR3) named Meg
Morris, Director for Environmental Science & Community Affairs at Covanta
Energy, as Recycler of the Year for a Private Company.
"Meg has worked tirelessly to support recycling and has brought
credibility and professionalism to every position she's held in the
recycling world," said Jeff Cooper, President of NYSAR. "She has devoted
her energies to numerous local, state and national organizations focused
on best practices for managing today's trash."
A proponent of "reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover energy from waste,"
Morris's recycling outreach extends to the general public as well as
schools, communities, businesses and professionals in the recycling and
the solid waste industry.
John Waffenschmidt, Covanta's Vice President of Environmental Science and
Community Affairs, noted the important role Morris has played since
joining Covanta. He said she has expanded the company's community
relations and educational outreach to promote the benefits of using
Energy-from-Waste to compliment local recycling efforts. Waffenschmidt
added that Morris was instrumental in bringing the award-winning "Go Green
Initiative," an environmental education campaign, to both Covanta and the
state of New York. Covanta Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Covanta
Holding Corporation, is a world leader in the development and operation of
large scale Energy-from-Waste and other renewable energy projects.
"We are proud of Meg's work and applaud this extraordinary achievement.
She's very deserving of this award," he said. "On a personal level, Meg
has had a tremendous influence on me to help me recognize the
opportunities we have to improve our world through an aggressive recycling
program."
