Envac reaches 7.4 million daily users as cities turn to circular, resilient waste systems
Envac’s Sustainability Report 2025 shows how automated underground waste collection is helping cities respond to rising waste volumes, climate risk and pressure on urban infrastructure. Global municipal solid waste already exceeds 2 billion tonnes a year and is projected to reach about 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050, according to UNEP/ISWA’s Global Waste Management Outlook, putting waste systems at the centre of the global ESG agenda. Against this backdrop, Envac’s Double Materiality Assessment identifies where the system contributes most to resilience and circularity, and where energy use and emissions still need to come down. The group is setting ESG‑aligned KPIs that guide development, operations and reporting in line with emerging EU and global frameworks.
