GIFT City
The Envac system replaced 70-80 waste collection vehicles with an underground pipe network, supporting GIFT City’s traffic management plan while creating a blueprint for future-proofed waste collection in India.
Sorting
Optical sorting facilities for household waste are advanced systems designed for cost-efficient waste collection and sorting. This technology relies on households source-separating their waste and recyclables into bags of different colours. All bags are collected in one single bin, eliminating the need for additional routing and the already-in-place infrastructure can still be used.
At a central sorting facility, the bags are identified by their colour and diverted from the residual waste stream using cameras and sorting robots. The separated waste fractions are subsequently processed into biomethane or sent to other recycling facilities to produce raw feedstock for new products.
Sorting Projects
Recycling lies at the heart of a circular economy, but old and traditional methods are both challenging and costly. In contrast, our optical sorting solutions can be used by cities of all sizes and reduces transport and collection costs by at least 50% compared to competing systems.
