Managing waste is a significant challenge for cities worldwide. Total global waste is estimated to reach 3.88 billion tonnes by 2050 as urban populations – and their waste – continue to grow.
Various pollution sources challenge clean air in urban environments, including waste management practices like traditional garbage collection. With cities aiming for sustainability and healthier conditions, examining these practices’ impact on air quality is critical. Notably, the role of garbage trucks in urban pollution underscores the need for innovative waste management solutions.
Managing waste, mainly through manual handling, involves navigating a landscape fraught with potential hazards. These challenges underscore the need for a comprehensive approach to protect both individuals and our planet.
Ever since we installed our first waste management system in the 1960s, ingenuity has been at the core of what Envac does. In this video, Niklas Forestier, System Manager at Envac Group, tells us how Envac’s system plays an integral part in the Smart City.
