Premium mixed-use district in Mumbai, India

Users separate waste at source into wet and dry fractions, depositing it into dedicated inlets. Each inlet connects to vertical gravity chutes that convey waste to the underground pipe network. There,

• Waste is temporarily stored at valves until a collection cycle is initiated.
• Collection cycles are triggered by level sensors or scheduled sequences controlled via Envac’s Automation Platform (EAP).
• Vacuum exhausters at the collection stations create negative pressure in the pipes.
• When the required vacuum is reached, valves open in a controlled sequence, and waste is transported at high speed through the pipes to the central stations.

The process is fully enclosed from inlet to station, minimising manual handling, , exposure, and disturbance to users.

The Envac system supports the project’s broader sustainability framework by:

• Reducing internal waste movements and the need for trolleys and small vehicles within the premises.
• Improving segregation quality at source, raising the recovery potential for recyclables.
• Enabling on-site composting of wet waste, fostering a circular approach to organic material.
• Lowering the overall environmental footprint of waste operations compared to a purely manual system.

Combined with the development’s broader innovative and green infrastructure initiatives, Envac’s AWCS helps position this Mumbai district as a reference point for modern, sustainable mixed-use developments in India.
