Published article in Bauwelt Magazine: For over fifty years the Swedish company Envac has been manufacturing pneumatic systems that transport garbage bags through pipes underground to a collection point. The promise: more cleanliness, less traffic, less environmental pollution. Mattias Widell, Head of Strategy and Business Development Envac North Europe, explains how the system has developed since the 1960s – and how it can also be implemented in Europe’s old cities.
Envac is working with the city of Trondheim, which has been recognised for its innovative and eco-friendly waste management practices in a stride towards sustainable urban development. With a keen focus on reducing landfill waste, the city has successfully implemented a full vacuum automatic waste collection system for residential areas with over 250 apartment units.
The company will deploy its technology in the New Artois Metropolitan Hospital in Lens and the Lariboisière – Fernand-Widal AP-HP Hospital in Paris. With these new contracts, and once the new pneumatic waste collection systems are operational, Envac will have equipped six hospitals in France with their technology.
“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” aims to fundamentally change waste management by implementing a new IoT-based infrastructure. This infrastructure integrates recycling, reusing, and the sharing economy across an entire city district. The project is also unique in size, and it focuses on behavioural science research. Envac is one of the collaborators in the pioneering research project initiated by Stockholm Vatten och Avfall, Sweden’s leading water and waste company.
Expo Park, also known as Parque Nações or Parks of Nation, is a public commercial and residential area located in Lisbon.
