Sustainability has always been at the core of what we do and is an essential driver of our business. We enable smart, sustainable communities and drive the circular economy by redefining how society thinks of waste – today and for future generations.
With 2.5 billion more people living in urban areas by 2050 and a doubling of the amount of waste generated, cities require smarter and more sustainable waste management solutions. Envac is part of the broader solution by promoting circular resource use and carbon neutrality while improving quality of life and creating added value for property developers.
Our waste collection systems enhance the quality of life for residents by promoting road safety and creating cleaner and more liveable neighbourhoods. The solution creates space for more green areas that can be used for creating parks, walkways, bicycle tracks, and much more. The system also decreases the need for heavy waste collection trucks and reduces carbon emissions by up to 90 %, as the system automatically transports waste outside the living area in a sealed environment. It enables building smart cities where the living environment is cleaner, free from odour, reduced noise pollution, and minimised risk of vermin.
The system reduces emissions associated with waste handling by improving operational efficiency and optimising energy consumption through automation and sensor-driven technology that can be controlled remotely. The level sensors work only when the system is at capacity, optimising space and ensuring that collection is done periodically. This reduces the need for traffic movement that contributes to emissions in the urban environment.
Our solutions promote more circular resource use by enabling highly efficient waste management systems supported by smart digital technology. By collecting multiple waste fractions, Envac’s automatic waste collection systems make it easy for the end user to sort their waste for recycling. This empowers users to contribute to higher recycling rates and more circular resource use in their municipality.
Envac is committed to ensuring that both our employees and external partners operate responsibly and safely. Guided by corporate governance policies and principles, our approach to business responsibility rests on three key pillars: fair and ethical business, ethical supply chains, and healthy, safe workplaces.
The preservation of the environment in cities and the improvement of the quality of life in urban environments are two of the most important challenges that public managers will have to face in the next 30 years. Addressing them will require collaboration among all citizens in addition to technological innovation.
