Envac ReFlow

Recycling has become effortless with the help of ReFlow! The platform’s guides are designed to make recycling easy and user-friendly, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective process. Users also receive feedback on their recycling habits and how they contribute to the city’s environmental goals. The platform can be displayed on building or apartment screens that show relevant information tailored to the user’s location, making recycling smoother. In Stockholm Royal Seaport, Sweden, 67% of residents have modified their households to recycle more effectively and reduce waste. This includes more meticulous sorting and increased use of food waste disposers, thanks to the ReFlow user experience.

ReFlow improves the pneumatic waste system’s performance by providing guidance on alternative inlets and enabling end-users to report errors. By analysing these reports, the smart system has the potential to resolve the issues automatically, reducing the need for manual maintenance and providing a seamless user experience.

Additionally, inlet QR codes allow guests or users without the app to report errors. For example, in Stockholm Royal Seaport in Sweden, the error reporting service, accessible via ReFlow and QR codes, is widely appreciated: 30% of reports are made via the app, while 70% are reported using QR codes on waste chutes.

ReFlow has introduced the waste industry’s first-ever smart meter. Smart meters have revolutionised the energy sector with their ability to manage energy grids more efficiently and involve citizens and prosumers. Smart meters in the waste industry, like in ReFlow, offer numerous benefits, including real-time monitoring of waste levels, which allows for optimised collection schedules and reduced unnecessary trips. They improve efficiency by providing accurate data that helps lower energy consumption and operational costs while minimising environmental impact. Additionally, smart meters engage the public by fostering better recycling habits through increased transparency about waste generation. They enable predictive maintenance by identifying when inlets need servicing, leading to proactive management. The data collected allows for insightful analytics, informing resource allocation and public awareness. Smart meters contribute to substantial cost savings, improved service, and support sustainability goals.

The Envac System Portal allows owners and operators to manage things straightforwardly. Real-time data provides valuable insights to facilitate informed decision-making. The portal is accessible on mobile and desktop devices, enabling remote management from any location.
