Promotes increased recycling
Sustains end user engagement
Envac ReFlow
Envac’s game-changing pneumatic waste collection system helps create a circular economy and fosters a healthier living environment. Envac ReFlow takes things to the next level by empowering communities and system operators to work together towards more sustainable resource use. With its smart design, ReFlow encourages recycling and facilitates seamless communication between users, operators, and local government.
Easier recycling = Better recycling
Recycling has become simple with the help of ReFlow! The guides provided by the platform are designed to make recycling easy and user-friendly, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective recycling process. Users also receive feedback on their recycling habits and how they are contributing to the city’s environmental goals.
Stockholm Royal Seaport’s implementation of Envac ReFlow shows great results:
- 35% of households have joined ReFlow, surpassing the target of 25%.
- 8 out of 10 users are satisfied, over half feel more motivated to sort waste, and 67% have changed their recycling habits.
- Waste analyses show 19% fewer incorrectly sorted packaging and newspapers, three times less food waste in the plastics fraction, and 10% more correctly sorted plastic.
- Fault reporting via the app and QR codes is widely used.
An interactive and cost-effective digital solution
ReFlow enhances the performance of the pneumatic waste collection system by providing guidance on alternative deposit points and enabling end users to report faults. By analysing these reports, the smart system has the potential to resolve issues automatically, reducing the need for manual maintenance and delivering a seamless user experience.
In addition, QR codes on the deposit points allow guests or users without the app to report faults.
The world's first smart meter for waste collection
ReFlow has introduced the waste industry’s first ever smart meter. Smart meters have revolutionised the energy sector through their ability to manage energy grids more efficiently and involve citizens and prosumers. With ReFlow’s smart meter, the waste industry can undergo the same transformation and improve its operations.
Seamless management
Envac System Portal enables easy management for owners and operators. Valuable insights can be extracted from real-time data to make informed decisions. The portal is accessible on mobile and desktop devices, allowing remote management from anywhere.
