Envac In the media Smart City

This trash collection system sucks. It’s great news for the planet

Bergen: gateway to Norway’s fjords and home to one of the world’s biggest underground waste management systems. Underneath the narrow cobbled streets of this historical city centre are 7.5km of pipes that use pneumatics to whisk garbage away to a central waste management facility. This technology, designed by Envac, has made Bergen safer and quieter while cutting diesel emissions, air pollution and traffic. What’s not to like?
