The waste products recycled range from "clean garbage" to any biodegradable refuse - all turned  it into  fuel.

Located in Reading’s business district, the ECP plant stands in full view of downtown offices and residences. The plant uses leading-edge air pollution control equipment to minimize emissions and provide a clean source of renewable energy. By offsetting fossil-fuel fired power for the adjacent corrugated box board plant, ECP contributes to an improved quality of life in the community as well as reduced operating costs for United Corrstack.
