Envac’s pneumatic waste collection system is the preferred solution in many cities around the world. It is typically used in mixed areas, where the residential buildings share the system with for example hotels, office buildings, banks, schools, malls, pedestrian streets, parks (with self-emtpying public litterbins). The system is installed in both new developments and consolidated areas, like historical city centers.
The waste inlets connect to an underground pipe network that transport the waste at 70kph speed, using negative airflow that sucks the bags to a remote collection station. The collection station can be located as far away as 2 km from the central urban area, reducing the impact of heavy traffic, such as noise, air pollution, and traffic jams.

With our next-generation solutions for recycling, Envac leads the way in shaping a more sustainable future and the circular economy. Our sorting solutions can be used by cities of all sizes and reduce transport and collection costs by at least 50% compared to competing systems.
The mobile vacuum system was developed during the late 1980s as a complement to Envac’s stationary vacuum system. Since then, thousands of residential areas, particularly in the Nordic countries, have been enhanced with Envac’s mobile vacuum systems.
Our innovative waste collection system helps shape smart and sustainable cities. By reducing emissions and providing clean, green and sanitary waste inlets for both residents and commercial actors, we want to improve the quality-of-life in the city.
