Smart City
More than half of the world’s population have chosen to reach for the opportunities, services, and experiences that city-life can offer. Yet, the traditional city of today has severe ramifications on the climate and ecology, and increasing urbanization is expected to escalate the problem. For the city to join and advance a sustainable and resilient circular economy, integrating smart city services is both necessary and inevitable. In this light, Envac’s pneumatic waste collection solution is an obvious choice.
Data collection
In the circular economy of the Smart City, economic value and sustainability go hand in hand with the use of big data collection and Artificial Intelligence streamlining flows and creating synergies.
Analysing big data from the city’s different services, such as water, electricity, transportation, and waste collection enable the innovation of smart services for residents as well as sustainable and efficient resource use.
The Envac system collects information on use and performance 24/7 to optimise system performance, inform Smart City governance as well as the residents of the Smart City. The data and intelligence powering Envacs management system, can be integrated with other, city-specific, platforms and software.
Freeing up space
The need for well planned and connected green areas is of increasing importance to make dense and crowded urban areas more resilient. As a bonus, these “green lungs” are also perceived as more attractive to citizens and visitors. So, in the Smart City, we move waste management underground so that people, bicycles, and kids get more space overground. Our system removes the need to build access and transport infrastructure for waste collection vehicles. This creates more space by replacing bulky recycling stations with lean waste inlets handling all sorts of recyclables and waste.
Reusing and recycling waste
The Smart City is designed to use the same resources again and again in an endless loop. This requires convenient access to efficient recycling and reuse of non-recyclable waste for energy production or composting. Our system is easy to access for users, handles multiple recyclables, and efficiently uses non-recyclable waste for bio-gas or electricity production, district heating, or composting.
