Envion stands for "Environmental Vision", and this is reflected throughout Envion's mission - to help solve the greatest environmental and resource management challenges facing the world today.

Envion addresses and helps solve issues with plastic waste management (landfill capacity shortage, recycling, incineration, and dumping), petroleum reserve depletion, greenhouse gas emission, and fossil fuel conservation.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States generated over 413 million tons of waste in 2006, of which over 11.7% (48 million tons) was plastic waste. This plastic waste production rate is expected to grow over 7% annually, indicating that waste and plastic waste disposal methods will face increasing challenges.
