Envac’s Sustainability Report 2025 shows how automated underground waste collection is helping cities respond to rising waste volumes, climate risk and pressure on urban infrastructure. Global municipal solid waste already exceeds 2 billion tonnes a year and is projected to reach about 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050, according to UNEP/ISWA’s Global Waste Management Outlook, putting waste systems at the centre of the global ESG agenda. Against this backdrop, Envac’s Double Materiality Assessment identifies where the system contributes most to resilience and circularity, and where energy use and emissions still need to come down. The group is setting ESG‑aligned KPIs that guide development, operations and reporting in line with emerging EU and global frameworks.

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.

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.
