A groundbreaking study from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) reveals that automated, hermetically sealed pipe systems for hospital waste disposal and handling dirty laundry can significantly reduce the amount of bacteria in hospitals compared to traditional hospital waste management methods.
The report showcases its steadfast commitment, impact, and progress in promoting sustainable cities by providing innovative automated waste collection solutions. Envac highlights the positive difference it can make across four key areas: quality of life, minimising emissions, resource circularity, and business responsibility.
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.
Making cities smarter and more sustainable through innovation is key for our future and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals number 11 of making cities and human settlements safe, resilient, and sustainable.
The Wilds at Barking Riverside is using the Envac vacuum waste collection system and houses the collection centre that will be one of the largest single vacuum waste systems in Europe on completion. The Wilds building won the 2022 RICS National Award in the United Kingdom for its outstanding achievement in providing a facility that directly benefits the local community.
