As of 6 April 2009, the Integrated Waste Services Association (IWSA) has officially changed its name to the Energy Recovery Council (ERC). The ERC will continue the work of IWSA, which has heavily invested its efforts in the promotion of renewable energy technologies, such as waste-to-energy.
“The mission and the name of the organization highlight the ability of the nation’s waste-to-energy facilities to produce clean, renewable energy,” said Ted Michaels, President of the Energy Recovery Council.

ERC’s membership includes companies and local governments in the waste-to-energy sector. By ERC’s count, there are 87 waste-to-energy facilities in the United States (across 25 states).
