Ever since we installed our first waste management system in the 1960s, ingenuity has been at the core of what Envac does. In this video, Niklas Forestier, System Manager at Envac Group, tells us how Envac’s system plays an integral part in the Smart City

Når et automatisert avfallsinnsamlingssystem først er på plass, er det lett å se det som «ferdig». Rørene ligger i bakken, terminalen er i drift og hverdagen går sin gang. Men utviklingen de siste årene viser at et Envac‑system ikke bare er en teknisk installasjon – det er en langsiktig infrastruktur som kan oppgraderes, optimaliseres og forlenges i takt med at byen, regelverket og beboernes forventninger endrer seg.
At The Wilds, a multi-purpose community, ecology and events space delivered by Barking Riverside Limited, the Envac terminal is not tucked away in an anonymous shed. Instead, it sits within an award-winning building that also houses workspaces (where the Envac UK office is also located), a local café, events and, importantly, an inclusive early years setting: Barking Riverside Explorers Preschool, part of the SENspired family of services.
Cities are where the world’s biggest challenges and opportunities converge. They occupy just 2% of the Earth’s land, yet house half the global population and generate around 80% of emissions. In a time of accelerating climate change and geopolitical instability, cities are becoming the testing ground for whether we can secure clean air, reliable infrastructure and social stability. In 2025, Envac appointed its first Chief Sustainability Officer, underlining the strategic importance of sustainability for our future growth and long‑term competitiveness.
