Higher quality of life for residents

When you install the Envac system, you can reduce an area’s need for heavy waste transport by up to 90%. The results? Fewer trucks and traffic jams, a safer and more mobile environment, less noise, and lower carbon emissions. And because the system is hermetically sealed, with optional touchless access, and sensor-driven, it prevents litter overflow, doesn’t attract rats or other pests, and won’t release potential odours.

Removing bulky waste collection vehicles and bins from residential areas minimises the risk of accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists, making the urban environment safer and more secure. With its sleek and modern design, Envac’s waste inlets also help create a more appealing area that frees up space for developers to offer more amenities, services, or green spaces.

Slashed transport emissions

Cities and regions that use the Envac system have seen their transport emissions from waste collection plummet. The pneumatic waste collection system, with its automated, centralised, and quick collection, promotes health, well-being, and broader sustainability goals.

Greater operational efficiencies, 24/7 availability

The direct cost alone of municipal solid waste collection is about 143 billion euros globally, according to the UN’s 2024 Global Waste Management Outlook. Automated waste collection drastically reduces manual labour and associated costs. It simplifies the collection process by automating it, making collection and management much more efficient and reliable, with round-the-clock availability not affected by strikes, weather conditions, or pandemic-like events.

Unlike traditional city waste collection, which isn’t based on data and analytics, the Envac system can digitally adapt to an area’s needs. Sensors that track fill levels and provide real-time monitoring ensure that waste is only collected when necessary, preventing overflow and underutilisation of resources. Municipalities can also use data insights to better manage system operational performance and create more targeted recycling initiatives.

Lower risk of work injuries and illness

Being a solid waste collector can be dangerous anywhere in the world. For example, the report Waste Statistics in Great Britain shows that the UK waste industry has the second-highest accident ratio per 100,000 workers, with most injuries coming from manual handling.

The Envac system provides workers with a better workplace environment. There is almost nothing to lift and drag, and since there is virtually no physical contact with the waste, they can avoid spreading infections or cutting themselves.

Real-time, data-driven decision-making – smart waste management

Cities worldwide are incorporating technology to monitor, collect, and process waste to minimise resource use, reduce costs, and improve service to residents. It involves using sensors and interconnected devices to gather real-time data and efficiently manage resources. Citizens, too, can use an app to view their waste volumes, get feedback on recycling habits, and get guidance on contributing to the neighbourhood’s environmental goals.

Envac’s ReFlow, a smart waste management application, can help transform waste management digitally and help your city become more efficient, transparent, and sustainable.

Save space up to 70%

The implementation of Envac’s Pneumatic Waste Collection System has the potential to decrease waste collection truck trips by up to 80% and reduce the space required for waste storage in buildings by as much as 70%. Consider the opportunities that arise from such significant space savings.

Solutions for City and Residential

Envac provides customised waste management solutions for urban residential areas, offering municipalities and developers opportunities to optimise their needs. These tailored solutions create unique, sustainable urban spaces that cater to diverse requirements regardless of the area’s size.

Stationary waste collection

By transporting waste through a sealed underground pipe network, this system eliminates the need for traditional bin collection, reducing noise, emissions, and traffic congestion. It offers a cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable approach to modern waste management.

Envac Sorting

Envac Sorting encourages sorting, recycling, and sustainable behaviours. Cities of any size can use Envac Sorting, which can be done either by traditional manual collection or by an automated waste collection system. They can save 50% or more on transport and collection costs versus comparable solutions.

City and Residential projects

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.

Research shows closed pipe systems reduces hospital bacteria

A report from the Public Health Agency of Sweden in 2023 showed that up to SEK 1.6 billion could be saved in healthcare simply by reducing the number of patients who acquire healthcare-associated infections. By revising logistics, hospital waste management, and improving medical procedures, infection spread can be reduced.
