Pennsylvania-based company looks to buy Maine waste-to-energy facility

MORNING SENTINEL • January 19, 2021

A Pennsylvania-based company with plants overseas is looking to buy a shuttered recycling and waste-to-energy plant in Hampden, a committee representing the solid waste disposal interests of more than 100 Maine municipalities announced Tuesday. Delta Thermo Energy Inc. was drawn to the Fiberight plant in Hampden, owned by Coastal Maine LLC, because the facility is set up and has contracts with 115 Maine municipalities. That saves time, Van Naarden said, and Delta can start operating the facility soon after taking ownership of it.
