Poles to Progress: Ameren Program Recycles Wood Power Poles for Commercial, Municipal Use
2,100 tons of wood waste diverted from landfills in 2024
ST. LOUIS (APRIL 17, 2025) - An Ameren initiative to repurpose retiring wood utility poles for commercial applications prevented 2,100 tons of wood waste from being discarded in area landfills last year.
On average, Ameren replaces 24,000 poles in its two-state service territory each year due to storm damage, vehicle accidents,or scheduled upgrades to poles. Local recycling companies haul the poles to their facilities, where the poles are broken down and reused as raw material for fencing, landscaping, and building materials.
Since the program's inception in 2022, the company has recycled 5,500 tons of wood waste, diverting the equivalent weight of twenty-two 787 passenger planes from landfills. The typical 40-foot wooden power pole in local neighborhoods weighs approximately 1,000 pounds.
"Our poles are treated with a preservative that makes them durable but difficult to recycle in a traditional manner," said Kyle Maxwell, superintendent of Electric Operations for Ameren Illinois. "Through partnerships with local recycling companies like Blackwood Solutions, we've developed a responsible solution that puts the poles to use and keeps them out of the dumpster."
"This program embodies our commitment to environmental stewardship and reducing or eliminating waste wherever possible," said Jennifer Spalding, manager of Environmental Compliance & and Strategy for Ameren. "We're working with suppliers, our own team, and our customers to develop an effective program and reach our goals."
About Ameren Corporation
St. Louis-based Ameren Corporation powers the quality of life for 2.4 million electric customers and more than 900,000 natural gas customers in a 64,000-square-mile area through its Ameren Missouri and Ameren Illinois rate-regulated utility subsidiaries.

SANTA CLARA, California, April 18 -- Agilent Technologies, a company that specializes in life sciences, diagnostics and applied chemical markets, issued the following news release on April 17, 2025:

Agilent Receives European IVDR Certification for Companion Diagnostic Assay in Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Adenocarcinoma
European certification for PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx to help gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma patients for KEYTRUDA therapy
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced its PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx (Code SK006) assay has received European IVDR certificationfor the use as a Companion Diagnostic (CDx) to aid in the identification of gastric or gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma patients who may be eligible for treatment with KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab)/1. PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx (Code SK006) is approved for exclusive use with the Agilent Autostainer Link 48 advanced staining solution. KEYTRUDA is an anti-PD-1 therapy developed by Merck (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada).
In addition to gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx is IVDR certified as an aid in identifying non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), urothelial carcinoma, esophageal cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and cervical cancer patients for treatment with KEYTRUDA. Consequently, PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx is labeled for seven cancer indications and is the only IVDR-certified CDx to identify gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma patients for treatment with KEYTRUDA.
"Immunotherapies, such as KEYTRUDA, are critical for cancer patients," said Nina Green, vice president and general manager of the Clinical Diagnostics Division at Agilent. "With the current European indication expansion of PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx into gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, pathology laboratories can now support an even broader patient population in determining their eligibility for relevant treatment options."
Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In Europe, gastric adenocarcinoma, typically diagnosed at an advanced stage, has a 5-year survival rate of 26%/2. In 2022, more than 130,000 Europeans were diagnosed with gastric cancer/3.
In Europe, KEYTRUDA, in combination with trastuzumab, fluoropyrimidine, and platinum-containing chemotherapy, is indicated for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS 1). Furthermore, KEYTRUDA, in combination with fluoropyrimidine and platinum-containing chemotherapy, is indicated for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS 1)/4.
PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx was developed by Agilent in partnership with Merck (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada) as a companion diagnostic for KEYTRUDA.
