Envac’s waste collection station in the district of Stora Ursvik, just north of Stockholm, has become the first industrial building in Sweden to secure BREAAM certification after it received the coveted ‘Excellent’ rating – the second highest accolade in BREEAM’s programme.

Traditional methods of waste collection could soon become a thing of the past in Spain after a survey revealed that 86.1 per cent of people preferred using Envac, an underground automated vacuum waste collection system, than relying on manual collection methods using heavily polluting waste collection vehicles.

Envac, proud system supplier, is arranging the inauguration ceremony at Strömkajen on Wednesday morning at 10.15 AM, on the quay in front of the Grand Hotel at Blasieholmen in Stockholm.
