Veolia North America

We’re excited to introduce BeyondPFAS, a new offering by Veolia that combines our proven technical capability in PFAS treatment and destruction with our skill in navigating regulations and funding resources. Our partners now have a one-stop shop for PFAS services so they can go beyond mere regulatory compliance and take control of mitigating risk and restoring public trust in water sources.

Thank you to the New Jersey Institute of Technology for hosting such an important forum on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) last week, where we discussed the challenges we face with PFAS mitigation, and how researchers, public officials and industry leaders can come together to make concerns about PFAS a thing of the past. PFAS have emerged as one of the most significant environmental challenges of our time. At Veolia, we see an investment in PFAS treatment technologies as an investment in public health, which is why we are working with municipalties across the country to optimize their operations for the long term. During the forum, we spoke in detail on how our investment in treatment PFAS technologies at a plant in Delaware will help millions of our customers.

Some of the most promising innovations in PFAS treatment are remarkably simple—while traditional treatment approaches like coal-based granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange (IX) have proven effective in addressing PFAS contamination, we’re also seeing promising results in technologies derived from corn, coconuts and clay. In our most recent blog, we break down how these three materials are used in PFAS treatment technologies, and the benefits to using natural materials. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eGDDG4Uh

Wind energy continues to be a leading source of renewable energy, with more than 75,600 wind turbines spinning across the United States. As the industry continues to grow, so does the need for innovative, sustainable solutions that address the next steps after wind turbine blades are decommissioned and replaced. Our solution, engineered fuels, actually takes these decommissioned blades and reconstitutes them into fuel for cement manufacturing. Thanks to CNBC for featuring our engineered fuels program in a recent article–this is an exciting time as we continue to expand our services and help make the wind industry more sustainable for decades to come. https://lnkd.in/evJtf85v

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with the City Of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, to operate and maintain the community’s wastewater treatment facilities, and help the city reach its environmental security goals. The City Council approved a five-year agreement with Veolia last week. On May 1, we will begin operating the City’s 7 million gallon a day capacity wastewater treatment plant and 21 lift stations. This new partnership expands our presence in Oklahoma, where we already operate the wastewater system in nearby Bartlesville, as well as serving the communities of Moore, Choctaw and Yukon near Oklahoma City.

Thanks to the National League of Cities for featuring us in a recent blog post, as we discuss the importance of decarbonization and why cities are reinforcing their sustainability efforts. Sustainability is more than just about reducing emissions—it's about reducing costs, increasing energy independence and building resilience. By investing in sustainability solutions, local governments can cut utility bills, lower maintenance costs and improve overall quality of life. That’s why we partnered with Climate Mayors to develop a guide on building decarbonization, helping municipalities make their communities more resilient while saving resources.

The first signs of spring are here in Milwaukee with the official launch of the Lynyrd Skymmr. This 65 foot vessel spends the warmer months patrolling the Milwaukee, Menomonee and Kinnickinnic rivers, picking up debris, trash, obstacles and more from the waterways. The Lynyrd Skymmr is owned by Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) and operated by Veolia. It is just one of the many ways we are working to protect our local waterways and Lake Michigan.

Across North America, Veolia employees celebrated #EarthDay all month long with cleanup events, garden planting, landscaping and more to brighten our community spaces and spend some time outside.
