A pioneering plastic sorting project in Hammarby Sjöstad shows that Stockholm households can reduce CO₂ emissions by 40,000 tonnes annually and increase recycling by 44%.

The pneumatic system by Envac consists of an initial network of over 500 metres of underground pipes through which the waste is transported from the source, with inlets spread inside the terminal, to the waste collection station. The total investment of the system is over 2.1 million euros.

The project, centred around the Dronningesgade district, will expand the existing pneumatic waste collection system in Odense’s city centre, enhancing the city’s sustainability by reducing transport within the urban area.
