Resource circularity

Envac pneumatic waste collection systems are designed to help end-users sort their waste for recycling with ease. By collecting multiple waste fractions, users can contribute to higher recycling rates and promote circular resource use in their municipality.

Our optical sorting systems use differently colored waste bags to sort various waste fractions, including food, textile, plastics, paperboard, newspaper, metal, and residual waste. These coloured bags are deposited into the same waste inlet, making waste sorting a breeze.

With over 1,000 Envac systems serving more than 4,000,000 people worldwide, we are proud to contribute to improving global recycling rates.

Our digital solution, Envac ReFlow, is designed to help both individuals and municipalities manage waste more effectively, while contributing to broader sustainability goals. With the ReFlow app, users receive guidance on sorting recyclables, as well as feedback on their recycling performance and impact on the environment. Additionally, the platform serves as a means for users to share and recycle goods, further promoting sustainability. To increase awareness and participation in recycling, entrance screens in apartment buildings are utilized to provide recycling information and feedback.

Recent studies conducted by Envac’s partner, LocalLife, among the niche focus group, have demonstrated that ReFlow can lead to a 12% reduction in waste generation and a 15% increase in plastic recycling, resulting in greater satisfaction with both the Envac system and the community as a whole.

By better sorting waste streams at source, Envac systems can help to generate energy from municipal waste.

This might involve sorting difficult-to-recycle waste for incineration at a waste-to-energy plant or a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. Envac systems can also help collect food waste to generate biogas and fertiliser.
