Sustainability
Envac’s higher purpose is to create smarter and more liveable neighbourhoods today – while ensuring a greener planet for future generations.
Sustainability Report
Envac’s 2025 sustainability report explains how the company’s automated, underground waste collection systems improve urban quality of life while reducing lorry traffic, emissions, noise and odour, as well as freeing up space for greener environments. The work is structured around four focus areas: quality of life, minimised emissions, resource circularity and responsible business conduct, with documented projects achieving up to approximately 90% lower emissions from waste collection vehicles, as well as improved recycling and energy efficiency through solutions such as the Envac Automation Platform and ReFlow.

Designing cities for circularity and resilience
Meet our CSO
Cities occupy only 2% of the Earth’s surface but account for around 80% of global emissions – and Envac’s new CSO, Naznoush Habashian, emphasises that the key to changing this is to regard waste management as critical underground infrastructure. In the interview, she explains how automated collection, circular material flows and data-driven resilience can transform today’s cities into cleaner, smarter and more stable places to live.
Contributing towards sustainable urban development
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.
Quality of life
Our collection systems improve residents’ quality of life by enhancing road safety and creating cleaner, more pleasant residential areas. The solution frees up space for additional green areas that can be used for parks, footpaths, cycle lanes, and much more.
The system also reduces the need for heavy refuse lorries and cuts carbon emissions by up to 90%, as the waste is transported automatically outside the residential area in a closed system. This enables the development of smart cities where the living environment is cleaner, free from unpleasant odours, with reduced noise and a lower risk of vermin.
Minimise emissions
The system reduces emissions associated with waste management by improving operational efficiency and optimising energy consumption through automation and sensor-driven technology that can be controlled remotely.
The level sensors are activated only when the system is full, which optimises space and ensures that collection takes place at the right time.
This reduces traffic flows that contribute to emissions in urban environments.
