Sweden Korea Green Transition Alliance discusses the future of waste

The Sweden+Korea Green Transition Alliance and its member companies invited a delegation of South Korean journalists to Sweden to learn more about Swedish sustainability solutions that can support South Korea to become a carbon-neutral society by 2050.

Christer Lundberg, Global Sustainability & Quality Lead represented Envac at the roundtable session

With the latest UN climate report alarming the world to the closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all, we quickly need to scale up more sustainable solutions in the world’s cities.

The aim of the event was to demonstrate and exchange proven solutions that can promote circularity, renewable energy and smart mobility. Read a Q&A between journalists from South Korea and Christer Lundberg, Global Sustainability & Quality Lead at Envac, from the Sweden+Korea Green Transition Alliance session on more sustainable waste management solutions.

About the Sweden+Korea Green Transition Alliance
The Sweden+Korea Green Transition Alliance was launched by the Embassy of Sweden, Business Sweden and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Korea together with around 15 Swedish companies in Korea – including Envac. The alliance is exploring opportunities to support South Korea in becoming a carbon-neutral society by 2050.

The event on 13-15 March 2023 was used to promote the recently launched Sweden+Korea Green Transition Alliance Market Access Report. The report showcases how alliance member companies – such as Envac – can contribute to South Korea’s green transition.

Return on Investment in Healthcare Waste Management: Why automated collection pays off

Healthcare providers face immense pressure to deliver high-quality care while maintaining a smooth patient flow, which is crucial for keeping healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) low and preventing nurse burnout. Additionally, there is a constant need to improve infection control, maximise clinical efficiency, and expand capacity—all while adhering to strict budgetary limits. However, an often-overlooked aspect that can undermine these goals is how hospitals manage their soiled flow logistics.

From installation to long‑term asset

Once an automated waste collection system is in place, it is easy to see it as “finished”. The pipes are in the ground, the terminal is up and running, and everyday life goes on. But developments in recent years show that an Envac system is not just a technical installation – it is long‑term infrastructure that can be upgraded, optimised and extended in line with changes in the city, the regulatory framework and residents’ expectations.

Turning a Terminal into a Community Hub: How Explorers Preschool Is Reimagining The Wilds at Barking Riverside

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.
