Reworld, formerly Covanta (legal name; Reworld Holding Corporation), is a private energy-from-waste and industrial waste management services company headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey. Most of its revenue comes from operating incineration facilities that serve a secondary purpose as power plants that burn trash as fuel. Reworld charges a fee for waste disposal and sells the electricity and metal slag produced from waste incineration.

Reworld was founded in 1939 as the Ogden Corporation. After starting as a public utility holding company it became a diverse conglomerate which had holdings in manufacturing, horse and greyhound racing, real estate, food, maritime transportation, arena management, and entertainment until its 2001 restructuring into a strictly energy business.
