Oslo is on course to meet its 50 per cent food waste recycling target after Agency for Waste Management, the city’s waste management department, published its latest waste collection survey that revealed how the Norwegian capital is recycling 46.4 per cent – up from 34.8 per cent in 2010.
The City of Bergen has won the National Energy Globe Award 2017 for its decision to install Envac, the global pioneer of automated waste collection, within its historical city centre.
Envac’s waste collection station in the district of Stora Ursvik, just north of Stockholm, has become the first industrial building in Sweden to secure BREAAM certification after it received the coveted ‘Excellent’ rating – the second highest accolade in BREEAM’s programme.
Traditional methods of waste collection could soon become a thing of the past in Spain after a survey revealed that 86.1 per cent of people preferred using Envac, an underground automated vacuum waste collection system, than relying on manual collection methods using heavily polluting waste collection vehicles.
