Smart waste management for everyone cities municipalities airports
Smart, sustainable, and hygienic waste management – from cities to airports, from hospitals to suburbs and countrysides. Envac’s innovative solutions for automated waste collection and waste sorting create happier residents, increased recycling rates, cleaner environments, lowered emissions, and ensure efficient waste handling for tomorrow’s communities.
Innovative Waste Management for a Cleaner, Healthier Netherlands
As urban and healthcare needs evolve, the Netherlands faces new challenges in waste management. Envac leads the way with advanced automated waste collection systems and automated waste sorting solutions that transform how waste is handled in cities, hospitals, airports, residential communities, shopping centres, and beyond.
Our automated waste collection technology eliminates the noise, mess, and inefficiencies of traditional collection. The waste is deposited into conveniently located inlets and swiftly transported via underground pneumatic tubes to a central collection station, ensuring a cleaner, more efficient, and hygienic process.
Envac Sorting automatically sorts waste based on the color of the bags at a central facility, without affecting existing infrastructure. It simplifies recycling, improves material quality and reduces costs. The solution is flexible and suits all types of communities – from large cities to rural areas.
Trusted worldwide and proven in the Netherlands, Envac’s innovative solutions help create healthier, more liveable communities, today and for generations to come.

By replacing traditional bin collection with underground pneumatic networks, Envac dramatically reduces waste transport emissions, noise, and street congestion, while ensuring cleaner, safer, and more attractive environments for residents and visitors.
The system’s 24/7 availability, (optional) touchless access, and real-time monitoring align perfectly with Dutch ambitions for circular economy cities and strict national waste regulations. The Netherlands’ National Waste Management Plan (LAP3) and Environmental Management Act prioritise waste minimisation, recycling, and the optimisation of urban space, objectives fully supported by Envac’s innovative technology.
As Dutch cities grow and new developments take shape, Envac’s solutions help municipalities meet stringent environmental targets, enhance quality of life, and future-proof urban infrastructure for generations to come.
Healthcare
By replacing manual waste handling with sealed, pneumatic pipe networks, Envac minimises the risk of cross-contamination and healthcare-associated infections, supporting compliance with strict Dutch and EU regulations. The system enables 24/7, touchless disposal of general waste, soiled linen, and infectious materials, significantly reducing staff exposure to pathogens and improving infection control.
With proven reductions in bacterial contamination and operational costs, Envac’s innovative technology can help Dutch healthcare providers optimise workflows, enhance patient safety, and meet ambitious sustainability targets, future-proofing facilities as healthcare demands continue to grow.
These solutions directly support the Dutch Green Deal on Sustainable Healthcare, which requires hospitals and care homes to reduce carbon emissions, minimise residual waste, and adopt circular practices as part of their climate roadmaps and sector-wide sustainability commitments.
The system is ideal for all types of healthcare facilities: hospitals, care homes, health centers and similar.

How smarter logistics reduce hospital infections: The Envac healthcare solution
Healthcare-associated infections cost billions each year, often driven by how hospitals handle waste and linen. Envac’s sealed pipe system eliminates manual handling, reduces bacterial spread, and supports smarter, safer hospital design, with over 180 installations worldwide
Maximising Efficiency: How optimised facilities reduce energy and costs
Envac Automation Platform (EAP) is an outstanding tool for optimising the performance of waste collection facilities. Its configureability and advanced analytics make it possible to significantly reduce energy consumption, improve fraction purity, minimise downtime, and boost capacity—ultimately delivering superior economic outcomes.
Retrofitting pneumatic waste collection into existing urban environments: A proven path forward
A common misconception about automated waste collection systems (AWCS) is that they are only viable for new developments. However, studies as well as real projects, including cities such as Bergen, Odense and Barcelona, show that retrofitting existing neighbourhoods with pneumatic systems is both feasible and beneficial.
