Sorting

Envac Sorting can easily be integrated with both automated vacuum waste collection and traditional waste collection. All waste bags, regardless of waste stream, are disposed of in the same chute or container and transported together to the sorting facility. There, the bags are automatically identified and sorted into the correct container, eliminating the need for special vehicles and simplifying logistics, even when cooperating between several municipalities/councils.

No changes to existing infrastructure are required; the same bins can be used, but in fewer numbers. Fewer bins on the property mean less space is needed and greater comfort for residents. The result is a cost-effective, space-saving, and user-friendly solution for modern waste management. Key is also fewer vehicles/emissions interactions with public/pedestrians.

Sorting facilities are flexible and can easily be adapted for new fractions or collection methods; for example, both Halmstad and Ljungby have expanded their facilities.

By using colour-coded waste bags, each waste stream is kept clean and free from contamination. With, among other things, optical technology, the bags are identified and separated with high precision, resulting in higher quality recycled material and better conditions for a circular economy.

Envac offers various types of service agreements for facilities, where, for example, colour adjustment checks are carried out to ensure optimal sorting. The facilities also have a remote connection function, allowing many service issues to be resolved quickly and easily at a distance.

Through continuous development of data collection, increasingly better data can be provided to customers for future decisions, such as waste quantities, energy consumption, and more.

Colour-coded waste bags are a central part of the system and make it easy for users to sort correctly. Each material has its own colour, which minimises the risk of incorrect sorting. The bags also protect the contents from contamination and facilitate handling at the sorting facility.

As new types of materials and bags are constantly being developed on the market, the technology is also advancing. There are also possibilities for various fine-sorting solutions where bags and materials are separated even further.

The waste bags are provided by your municipality/council and are included in the waste collection fee.

The system is designed to be easy to use for everyone, regardless of previous experience with source separation. Clear information and simple sorting at home increase engagement and make it easier for residents to contribute to increased recycling rates. Experience shows that households significantly reduce their residual waste when using Envac’s system.

We have developed materials and tips to help you as a customer easily engage your residents and further increase the sorting rate.

Envac can also act as an advisor to you as a customer, both for a complete review of your waste management and to achieve maximum impact on the end user, the residents.

Envac Sorting reduces both collection and transport costs compared to traditional systems. Since the same containers and vehicles can be used for all fractions, there is no need to invest in new special bins or refuse trucks.

Conversion costs for multi-compartment bins and space for them are completely eliminated. In addition, several municipalities can share a facility, providing further savings and increased recycling rates.

Eskilstuna, as one of the few municipalities in the country, has been able to maintain and even lower its waste collection fees for customers thanks to its early investment in a sorting facility.
