Bergen, Norway, is once again making headlines — this time in The Washington Post, which spotlights the city’s groundbreaking approach to urban waste management.
The pneumatic system by Envac consists of an initial network of over 500 metres of underground pipes through which the waste is transported from the source, with inlets spread inside the terminal, to the waste collection station. The total investment of the system is over 2.1 million euros.
Envac is proud to provide state-of-the-art waste management systems for the forthcoming Health Quarter in Aksdal, Tysvaer Municipality in Norway. This innovative facility is designed to enhance healthcare and welfare services for the community.
A groundbreaking study from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) reveals that automated, hermetically sealed pipe systems for hospital waste disposal and handling dirty laundry can significantly reduce the amount of bacteria in hospitals compared to traditional hospital waste management methods.
