Waste-to-energy company Harvest Power, backed by investors including Waste Management, has now raised more than $240m since 2008.

Harvest Power, a US-based waste-to-energy technology producer backed by waste services provider Waste Management, raised $20m from True North Venture Partners, Industry Ventures and Generation Investment Management yesterday.

Founded in 2008, Harvest helps companies convert their organic waste into renewable energy, soils, mulches and fertilisers. The latest funding will support a five-year growth plan that will involve “significantly” scaling Harvest’s organics business and launching new food waste management and renewable energy programs.
