Automated waste collection for all environments citieshealthcare airports
Envac’s automated waste collection systems revolutionise urban waste management, creating cleaner environments and smarter cities. By reducing air pollution, lowering carbon emissions, and eliminating the unsanitary conditions associated with traditional waste collection methods, the system ensures a more efficient, hygienic, and sustainable approach to waste management.
Innovative waste management for cleaner, more sustainable cities
The world is facing a growing waste challenge. As the global leader in pneumatic waste collection systems, Envac is transforming how waste is managed. By eliminating the noise, mess, and inefficiencies of traditional collection methods, this innovative solution ensures a cleaner, more efficient process. Simply deposit sorted waste into an inlet, and it is swiftly transported through underground pneumatic tubes to a central collection station, where it is compacted and sealed in containers.
This technology is revolutionising waste handling in airports, residential communities, healthcare facilities, shopping malls, and other urban spaces. The impact? Fewer waste trucks on the streets, lower labour costs and occupational risks, significantly reduced transport emissions, and cleaner, healthier public spaces. Trusted worldwide, Envac is making cities and key facilities more efficient, sustainable, and liveable.
Reduced noise, emissions, and heavy traffic
Compared to traditional waste management methods.
Smart and simple recycling
Integrated into the same system.
Optimised land use

Healthcare
Envac’s automated waste collection system streamlines the transport of general waste, kitchen waste, soiled linen, and infectious waste in healthcare facilities. Eliminating manual handling using trolleys or carts outside the ward minimises the spread of germs and bacteria while improving hygiene and reducing operational costs.
Cities
Cities struggle with waste management while maintaining cleanliness, sustainability, and air quality. Envac’s automated waste collection system builds smarter, greener urban spaces. It improves air quality by cutting air pollution and carbon emissions. The system also eliminates odours and mess while enhancing hygiene and safety, replacing outdated, unsanitary methods with a cleaner, more efficient solution.
Airports
Airports are dynamic, high-traffic environments with strict security and safety requirements. Managing waste efficiently in such a setting is crucial to maintaining smooth operations. Envac’s system streamlines waste collection, addressing complex logistical challenges while improving efficiency, security, and cost-effectiveness.
Industrial
Our state-of-the-art trim and matrix removal system boosts productivity, reduces downtime, cuts waste, and lowers costs. Designed for printers, converters, and manufacturers of wide web, narrow web, labels, non-wovens, film, sheet, paper, and paperboard products, it ensures seamless, efficient operation while improving overall workflow, sustainability, and material utilisation.

What is smart automated waste collection?
Envac’s smart automated waste collection system replaces traditional waste methods with a more efficient, hygienic, and eco-friendly solution. Using underground pneumatic tubes, waste is transported from collection inlets directly to a central facility, eliminating manual handling, cutting waste truck traffic, and reducing carbon emissions. This technology prevents odours and mess in public spaces while improving air quality. With built-in smart features, the system streamlines collection schedules, tracks waste levels in real-time, and boosts overall efficiency. Used in cities, airports, hospitals, and large facilities, Envac helps create cleaner, safer, and more liveable environments.
How does Envac system generate operational value?
Removing waste, generating value.
Envac leverages advanced technology to optimise operational and cost efficiency. Smart sensors, software, and IoT connectivity enable real-time monitoring, reducing manual handling and improving operational performance. The Envac Automation Platform (EAP) improves efficiency by providing real-time data, predictive analytics, and automated system optimisation. It allows cities and businesses to track waste generation, streamline collection processes, and reduce power consumption by up to 70% through its peak-shaving feature.
By combining automation, AI-driven insights, and energy-efficient innovations, Envac delivers a high-tech, cost-effective, and future-proof waste management solution.
First vacuum system in the world
In 1961, Centralsug—now known as Envac—introduced the world’s first vacuum waste system at Sollefteå Hospital in Sweden. Remarkably, this system remains operational today, still incorporating many of its original components from the early 1960s. Since then, Envac has become a global leader in automated waste collection systems (AWCS), with 1,200 installations running across six continents.
Sustainable urban development
Sustainability drives everything we do, shaping smarter, eco-friendly communities and advancing the circular economy. With urban populations rising by 2.5 billion by 2050 and waste generation doubling, cities need efficient, sustainable solutions. Envac supports this shift by promoting circular resource use, carbon neutrality, and improved urban living while adding value for all.
