In a groundbreaking development for hospital logistics, Envac has unveiled its innovative technology at the newly inaugurated logistics platform of CHU Rennes University Hospital. This facility has set a new standard in Europe for automated and sustainable hospital logistics by introducing the world’s first integrated system that combines pneumatic transport of infectious waste with on-site treatment using state-of-the-art technology.
Envac Norge AS is proud to announce that it has been awarded the contract to deliver and install a cutting-edge waste collection terminal for the transformative Mindemyren development project in Bergen, Norway.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has spotlighted the City of Bergen’s innovative implementation of Envac’s automated waste collection system as a leading example of sustainable urban innovation.
Envac’s latest sustainability report shows a year full of smart, clean and sustainable-focused developments. Achievements include reduced emissions, improved recycling, efficiency gains thanks to automated solutions, and substantially reduced risk for infections in healthcare environments.
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.
